Got a response from the Turing head of comms and they said they were interested and looking to meet next week.

Meeting on 2020-07-15 15:30. Next steps:

Strand 1: How to describe the work in an accessible way and how others want to contribute to that, Mark and Beth happy to work with us after:

Work up prototype further
Think about different audiences strands (code, data science, analysis)
How to make those strands accessible, where someone comes for one and leaves with knowledge of other two

Strand2: Who else within and outside of Turing can help in practical terms, story generation or peer review, Mark and Beth again can help connect?

Potentials (all unapproached) are:

Nick Holliman (Turing and Newcastle)https://www.turing.ac.uk/people/researchers/nick-holliman, Visualisation Interest Group. He's well connected to data journalism. @DavidBeavan knows him
Tomas Petricek and The Gamma https://thegamma.net/
David Blood, FT? https://www.ft.com/david-blood
Link up with journalist would be amazing!
[@DavidBeavan comment, we might be wanting to forge new ground beyond visualisation]
