An excellent piece on the challenges of mortality data in the US. Read @us.theconversation.com article, and then read the academic pub: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

I haven't found corroboration of this exact list yet, but this does appear to be legitimate, per Nature. Apparently "around 10,000 research grants have been flagged for review and distributed to various programme directors"--in OTHER directorates. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

We are exploring how people are rethinking death care and mourning through self-organized, DIY practices. What are the opportunities and challenges when people step outside traditional funerary institutions? Can we support people creating deeply personal ways to honor their loved ones?

Slide from a presentation: “You’re ready.” Liz Gerber (Northwestern) @ CSCW 2023
My favorite slide from a talk I gave this week about the launch of the Digital Legacy Clinic (@digital-legacy.bsky.social) at @cuboulder.info. I wasn’t certain if I had done enough research, but a year ago Liz Gerber gave me the right push at the right time. Grateful for her support! #digitallegacy

Are your digital affairs in order? A new pro-bono clinic can help
CU’s Digital Legacy Clinic helps people take steps to preserve their own legacy or manage the virtual heirlooms of loved ones who have died.
WE HAVE LAUNCHED A NEW CLINIC FOR END-OF-LIFE TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT! Led by Dr. Jed Brubaker, our research team at CU Boulder now offers free consultation for anyone doing end-of-life planning for their own data or managing data of their loved ones. Please share! 🎉

Lots of hard work to get to today 😅 -- but I couldn't be happier to launch our new clinic!

Great news for Ancestry. And I’ll admit I’m touched whenever companies decide to also call their service Legacy Contact.
