If you need to get out of the house we are still running this week and have the Brilliant Candide Hosting the GGD this week
GGD #80 Data Fuelled Growth: Why and How to implement with your product Thursday the 20th

Data fuelled Growth
How can you use data to make fast, confident decisions? Pippa will discuss how to use data and experiments to grow your product and how data can align marketing campaigns, engineering and product.
About Pippa Churcher
Pippa is head of Growth at Bristol-based Candide, the app for plant-loving humans founded in 2018. She manages experiments to optimise acquisition and retention, but her career initially started by studying Anthropology at university. She then worked at the National Trust, connecting people with conservation through events and marketing, moving to another technology company before finding Candide, where she helps create a digital space for plant and nature lovers.
She also climbs a lot of mountains – the relevance of which will be divulged during her talk!
Happy Pluto Day! (not the cartoon dog)

There’s not a lot else on Monday the 18th so maybe check out some facts about the 9th planet (there’s even a festival in Arizona called I heart pluto). The celebration of the frosty ninth planet in cold and snowy Flagstaff, Arizona, where it was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh 90 years ago on February 18, 1930.
