It's not all bad news! Tech can be used for good, and we saw some great examples at Allia's Tech for Good Impact Summit in Nottingham. The sustainability session was a highlight, with great food waste and plastic recycling ideas. Plus we made a new friend... #TechForGood

#DigitalInsights
Scrabble tiles spelling "choose your words"
Here are three academic words to rethink:
‘Novel’ - explain *why* it’s new
‘Deliverables’ - what are you actually producing?
‘Methodology’ - use plain English.
Clarity beats jargon every time & simplicity is less about dumbing down and more about opening up.
