DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will take you on a rollercoaster tour of how d
 ata science is delivering for the public good at the Office for National S
 tatistics’ Data Science Campus and beyond. Drawing on examples from the 
 dozens of data scientists working at the Campus\, you’ll find out how Py
 thon is improving the public sector already in a myriad of ways\, from cre
 ating or improving national statistics\, to forecasting the economy\, to d
 ealing with Covid-19\, to evaluating efforts to tackle the gender pay gap.
  We’ll even see how a tweet by a food campaigner led to a huge effort to
  web-scrape budget brand offerings in UK supermarkets—analysis that made
  it onto every major UK news programme! And we’ll look ahead to the chal
 lenges\, and potential\, of Python for the public sector in the future.
