Being a Data Impact Fellow has given me the leverage to appreciate the role of different data types and sources in decision making processes. I feel more confident talking about data as a resource and I am taking this with me into my next job role where I am hoping to encourage businesses to see and use data differently in ways that will maximise their business output to eventually create more job opportunities to boost the economy of Mid Wales.

Since the challenges of Covid-19, climate change, and food insecurity will not wait, I am changing how I publish my research and data.
I am now going to use pre-prints, deploy ‘living’ online work books (so others can follow along), push my data into repositories as fast as possible, and start talking about my data with the community to get coordination, synthesis and review happening as fast as possible.
I would love to hear what you think, and any advice/strategies you can give me – thoughts in the comments.
