Volterra partner and co-founder Paul Ormerod has been making a splash in the media again in the last month. He recently featured on BBC Radio 3′s popular ‘Night Waves’ programme. The episode focused on whether or not we place too much weight on happiness as a measure of our quality of life – Paul supplied the economist’s viewpoint. Listen to the programme here.  He has also recently had two articles published in the prestigious Nature Magazine (one of the two top scientific journals in the world). Read his ‘World View’ piece on the effect of networks during the Olympics here and his review of Nate Silver’s new book ‘The Signal and the Noise’ here.
