SUPER excited to see this live in the world. In particular hugely admire this team's dedication to openness and transparency about methodology, code, assumptions. Every tool has strengths and weaknesses, but sharing openly is how the whole community can improve. Big kudos @carbonplan.org

If you were interested in @jaytoddgla.bsky.social’s and my critical response to the “Sullivan Review” yesterday, make sure you read @kevinguyan.bsky.social’s very recently published “Trans-exclusionary data activism in the UK” www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
