That's great to hear - we're working hard to make sure our work also reaches many of the key people influencing policy initiatives and decisions.

That's a great suggestion - we hadn't actually thought of that in the context of our work. But it makes sense given we have such an abundance of open-source data.

What Kaggle Kernels do is awesome. It'd be cool to integrate this concept into our work at some point. Thanks for the suggestion!

Absolutely, it would also allow people to have a conversation about the data through various kernels and threads. As another comment said, there was some recent controversy over some of the reports, a Kernel system would enable an environment where people can have a data driven debate about what the data really implies. Thanks for your work and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it evolves!

Edit: When you provide an open platform for people to collaborate, it can be amazing who shows up and what gets done!
