Everything Happens at the Margins
Marginally Compelling is a newsletter about data, curiosity, and grace. It’s an off-shoot of my twitter account @politicalmath. I’ve grown tired that twitter has become such a poor place for thoughtful conversation and complex topics, I’ve found that the newsletter is a much better place to think through things that need more than a few sentences or a snarky quip to understand. I’m mostly covering data and investigation into COVID-19 topics. My goal is to dig through what things matter, when they matter, and how much they matter. I love to discover the stories of people working on the front lines of any industry, from medical professionals, researchers, data scientists, public health policy… anything that can help us make a little more sense of the crisis around us.
