If you missed our #SeptembRSE workshop (and it was a great one, thanks all) then catch-up here 📺youtube.com/watch?v=bF6463yk…
We have a new Turing Data Story right out of the oven 🥳! If you interested to learn more about @TfL Santander Cycles and how they are used around London check it out 👇 bit.ly/TDSBorisBikes

This story was born at a @turinghut23 hack week in in 2022 inspired by the great #open dataset from @TfL on bike journeys.

So cool to see people using the open code from our stories to run their own analysis! 🤩 That is exactly the idea for Turing Data Stories.
My modelling of new omicron variant (repurposing some excellent open source techniques from @TuringDStories: alan-turing-institute.github…). Note decoupling of data and predicted admissions - suggesting vaccine and herd immunity could flatten admissions curve this Christmas.
