He is a veteran Python user, and an open-source enthusiast. He has contributed to the probabilistic programming framework PyMC, and maintains the MCMC software package tinyDA. When he's not creating data analysis tools, he is usually found in a tent on Dartmoor, or on his couch playing the latest roguelike video game. *Owen Saunders, Science of Science* Owen is a PhD candidate at the University of Exeter working in the field of Science of Science (SciSci). The Science of Science studies the mechanisms underlying science, the development of domains, ideas and innovation. How exactly does the world of Science differ from the everyday world? What do we need to do to improve our research and development? And how do we extract, process and optimise our information? *Dan Maxwell, Producing Models That Work* How do you ensure your models are right when you find yourself performing a critical role in a multibillion-pound project with the whole world watching? Daniel Maxwell has built models for multibillion-pound sporting events across the world.
