Data stories, methods, tools and cultivated notes.
This is where I collect the pieces that need a bit of room: data stories, public-facing methods, teaching tools and knowledge-base guides about ageing, care, place and inequality. Some entries are finished essays; others are planted here so they can be revised, connected and grown over time.
Gerostats keeps the garden language deliberately: statistics are not
only final outputs. They are working notes, technical decisions, local
memories, diagrams, equations, maps and tools that become more useful
as they are connected.
