We have 5 research groups Working with TASM Links with WYCA Academic input Sarah Sharples --- # Data can make a difference ![](https://github.com/npct/pct-team/blob/master/figures/front-page-leeds-pct-demo.png?raw=true) ??? Where I am now: PCT used by many in government --- .left-column[ ### Too much data? A nice problem to have?
