      Today we're telling the story of a cartographer who found his dream job at CIA: “In my college courses, I was really drawn to the presentation side of geography & geographic information systems (GIS), rather than the analysis side.” #GISDaypic.twitter.com/0d4ookCPxo

      “When CIA recruited on my college campus, they described how their cartographers strictly focus on craft of conveying intel in a visual manner to US policymakers. I was hooked! I knew this was a way I could both serve my country & truly have my dream job right out of college!”pic.twitter.com/29nNVD2T51

      “I use many of my core GIS skills every day such as understanding projections, quantitative methods, & data formats. I specialize in the visual display of the intelligence story, so most data collection and analysis is done by the analysts we collaborate with.” #GISDaypic.twitter.com/q4JBqpNiQ0

          With Russia's involvement in Brexit would that not technically make the Brexit result nil and void!

          One last thing about Brexit. Due to Russian interference I feel were being controlled. I don't like being controlled by outsiders. However as the UK is going for Brexit the world is your oyster and show this world why were British!
