TrovBase is for the business analyst 😎. Analysts spend ~20% of their time searching for data across their orgs' disparate data sources and waiting for access. We think there are better uses for your analysts' time...like...conducting analysis. samjordan.substack.com/p/tro…

TrovBase is hiring a summer marketing associate. Send along to your smart, entrepreneurial young professional friends. This will be like a 3 month CMO residency role so they are going to gain tons of experience and have lots of agency over their activities. Dm if interested.

Not just for #NormConf attendees either! When you sign up for TrovBase at trovbase.com/signup and try it out, roast it with a meme or using the emoji faces on the right side of any @TrovBase web page. The most helpful and funniest roasts will win gift cards.

Things I learned from talking to these 5 researchers (TY to volunteers!): 1/5 Research teams still struggle with version control. Not many use Git because their collaborators are slow to adopt. Still too technical for most. On many teams, there is no single point of truth.
I want to speak with 5 quantitative researchers over the next 5 days (can be life or social science). Convo will be less than 30 minutes, focused on your data management workflow. DM if interested!

Why are we building TrovBase? First, because... 🤖 Most research is not machine readable.

👎 Current tooling does not enable the level of version control that is required of scientific integrity.

🧽 Researchers waste time with data cleaning and logistics instead of focusing on idea generation and analysis.

A must-read! We're building TrovBase to ensure it facilitates something in every section of Saloni's article, because we share the same goals and ideas for the why and how of the better science that's coming.
My first article for @WIRED!!! Making science better should be one of the world's biggest priorities, and it doesn't need to come at the cost of speed. Here's what the pandemic taught me about how the world can do great science faster. wired.com/story/covid-19-ope…

10/10 visit to Indiana University this week! We had a very productive time with @fabiorojas’s class, as well as with the researchers who attended our demo at the Social Science Research Commons.

The response from the audience for the TrovBase SSRC demo was fantastic! We loved discussing the relevance of TrovBase to the attendees’ specific research projects and how they can use TrovBase to increase data integrity and enable reproducibility.

This will be the first of many visits to classes and research centers to show off how TrovBase can make researchers’ lives easier and mitigate the reproduction crisis, so keep an eye out for a TrovBase visit near you! (Or if you want a visit - let us know! We'll bring pizza.)

"Data contracts" folks really need to let this one sink in
Your database table schema is not an API.
