Thanks for taking the effort Igor, the space definitely needs good thinkers in marketing and messaging for knowledge translation and impact!

Thanks @TJPHutton I have updated the discord link to not expire. See you in there! 

I have a mixed methods public health research background on behaviour change so I'll be done my best to measure, although it is very challenging. I'll be writing a post soon that is much more crunchy and in the weeds about how I think about tabletop exercising as an intervention and how it impacts our approach to game design at lgp

This is a great initiative and new angle. I hope orgs see the value in your work and you get the ball rolling. I would recommend teaching out to sarah Pomeranz and the EA consulting group

This is a great idea David and could be super impactful. I especially like the organisation of regular channel consolidation. Social and internet communities I think suffer a lot from specialisation entropy and a system to reverse this is great hygiene. I would also like a 'bounty board's for small projects with budgets for 'guns for hire' RA s/PAs that would make some surge tasks move from the unfeasible to feasible catatories for orgs.

fantastic to see more edited long form with good writing! The website typography and layout also beautiful btw. Reminds of me slightly of the Economist but tbh looks and feels better. nice work!

Well I guess the character perception 2 weeks ago was closer to lawful. But now it's a bit of a closed case😶

SBF character arc went from lawful good to chaotic evil in a timeframe that anime writers would laugh at...
