"I'm so proud of the work we did with DataKind and their incredible volunteers. Our work stands out as one of the only research projects I’ve seen that wrestles with highly technical issues to find real world solutions grounded in public policy, economic forces, and community needs at a granular and actionable level. This is certainly not a one-off project. It is now my commitment to continue this great work and drive some serious impact."
