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!

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

I'm really excited about TrovBase, which aims to standardise and make interoperable a lot of the processes and outputs that scientists work with. I love the emphasis on how *removing* choice and optionality can often be the best way of raising efficiency. samjordan.substack.com/p/are…

Words and images are for show. Tabular data pays the bills.

If a spreadsheet falls in the forest and no ones around to hear it, is it in production?

✨new blog post: Why don't academics use modern cloud services? There were a lot of interesting ideas in this thread, so I wrote up a little blog post to summarize it! I hope it's useful: predictablynoisy.com/posts/2…
Has anybody in academia done an ethnographic-style study asking why almost nobody in academic research uses modern cloud data services? (things like Databricks, Snowflake, etc) They seem to be exclusively used by industry, even though they theoretically could be used by both.

If you’re struggling with posting your data openly, and have ambivalent feelings about it (understandable, also fine if you aren’t ambivalent) I recommend reading this thread to the end and the replies. I think this is a paradigm shift being negotiated in real time.

NIHR now bypassing journals! NIHR Open Research is a platform to make public: study protocols, incremental results, negative results, case studies, research articles, all supporting data, and post-publication peer review (both positive and negative)
We've launched a new publishing platform that allows researchers to rapidly publish any research information they wish to share, supporting transparency and impact from publicly funded research. Find out more about NIHR #OpenResearch, powered by @F1000: nihr.ac.uk/news/nihr-launche…
