Colour photograph of a white USB stick. Printed text on the USB stick reads: '...this is not an archive.'
Currently doing some marking. A reminder to everyone involved in archives and collections: digitisation is not preservation. If I digitise a box of records and put the files on a USB stick I haven't preserved a thing. It's all about what you do with the files post-digitisation. #archives #digipres

Title:
SOME GRAMMATICAL VOICES FOR USE IN SCIENTIFIC WRITING
ACTIVE VOICE
e.g.
Our team collected samples and then we tested them.
CLICKBAIT VOICE
e.g.
We collected some samples...
You won't believe what happened next!
PASSIVE VOICE
e.g.
Samples were collected and tested.
HAIKU VOICE
e.g.
Quiet science lab.
Workers arrive with samples.
The testing begins.
PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE VOICE
e.g. We did all the collecting and testing.
No need to thank us.
Just doing our job.
CONSPIRACY VOICE
e.g.
Mysterious "Samples" were harvested and covertly "tested" by so-called scientists.

(No real spoilers) An interesting thing that has come out of #Squidgame2 is the ear worm that is the Mingle game song - as referenced to the show - or rather, λ₯κΈκ²λ₯κΈκ² (dunggulgae dunggulgae), a traditional Korean childrenβs song that has gained an unexpected new group of English-speaking fans.
