Data can help us respond to complex challenges—but only if we can access and use it. In our latest episode, we explore AusEnHealth, a project aiming to build Australia’s first national digital environmental health platform. Just search for The Random Sample wherever you get your podcasts!

Liking the positive vibes of BlueSky so far but finding it tricky to find my 🇦🇺 stats peeps.

Thought I'd try a starter pack to help us find each other. Here's who I've found so far.

Let me know if you'd like to be added #StatsSky
