Reply To: Demographic Twins for ‘What if?’ Scenario Planning

Thanks Richard, that’s an interesting question and I must admit I have a tendency to be suspicious of overambitious approaches (boiling the ocean”?!) but very much take your point about a level playing field.  We do have a very open approach to the science of DTs – for example, outputs from the SPENSER model I discuss are already available through the CDRC at Leeds (www.cdrc.ac.uk) and all the covid models and code we are developing are open-sourced.  Definitely something the Turing would like to build upon in the next phase of Digital Twin- I’m sure CDBB would feel the same way.
