My conclusion: whether you think Brexit is going to end up like the Guggenheim Bilbao (vastly outperformed any reasonable expectation) or NHS National Programme for IT (abandoned after years of wasting money), it's worth looking at megaprojects for some insight.

This is a very nice (albeit bleak) general argument: if science requires "failed" work, but individuals whose work fails are punished, then that's a strong push toward cargo cult science. https://t.co/LkT77nmDXu pic.twitter.com/z2zdfLbOC8

According to a recent study, 61% of "entry-level" jobs require 3+ years of experience.

What really blows me away are the "entry-level" jobs that require more years of experience than that! 10+ years?! #datavizhttps://t.co/4GM9d2Kjld pic.twitter.com/gEpszyuswZ
