Quick and Meaningless Data Collection Help me collect some data to use for student examples!

Help me collect some meaningless data for student examples! 8 questions of mostly meaningless, unidentifiable variables - pineapple on pizza? marble cake is the best flavor? etc. - for generating student examples. Thanks in advance!

Reminder: Workshop on CARE & ethical fieldwork tomorrow, 8 May, 13:00 @ISS, The Hague.
Co-organised with DANS—incl. group sessions, peer discussions & storytelling.
With DANS colleagues @debsethorpe.bsky.social & Michelle van den Berk. We look forward to seeing you there!

Amazing time at the Leap Scarecrow festival. Loved some of the really 'local humour' like the one of the parish priest meeting the Pope 😂

Hey Autumn!

Evidence pyramid where thoughtful, well-conducted studies if any design are at the top.

Just an irregular reminder of Darren Dahly’s (@statsepi.bsky.social) excellent evidence pyramid.

Attn elderly millennials of Ireland: Covid boosters are now available for us! Booked in for Friday, let's see if that's soon enough...

Back from an amazing holiday in the Sussex Wealds. Absolutely beautiful and fascinating place to spend a few days sans child. Now I've got a serious case of the Sunday nights!

Japanese Ambassador Mr. Norio Maruyama, Tanaiste Micheal Martin and UCC President John O Halloran standing beside a box and they have their hands on a red button. UCC Librarian Coral Black stands watching. Two seated students in the foreground

It was great to hear Irish Tanaiste Micheal Martin speak so elegantly and knowledgeably about the power and importance of primary sources at the Launch of the Japanese Diet Library (the Library of the Japanese Parliament) today at UCC Library

Excel bungling makes top trainee doctors 'unappointable' Mangled mismatch of formats, macros, and VLOOKUP practice hits wannabe anesthetists

Multiple people have sent this excel horror story to me. Excel: unsafe by design. No excuse for using in a professional context to manage data. www.theregister.com/2023/10/12/e...

Since moving to Mastodon and then Bluesky I'm still finding the different audiences and divides between the two a little strange. Hopefully it will settle into something within not too long! Or perhaps that's okay and it's my mindset that needs to get used to it!

Hello! Giving BlueSky a go in my ongoing search to find something that works better than Twitter now works.

I'm involved in open access book publishing, building open infrastructures and creating communities interested in #OAbooks.

Also 💙 football (LCFC), theatre, & compulsive doomscrolling.

Interesting event coming up next week on digital preservation and video games: The 87% Missing Report and Digital Preservation Advocacy - Open Preservation Foundation: openpreservation.org/events/the-8...

Omg omg omg anyone want to collaborate?

Today was the first meeting of the Stanford LitLab, and I thought I'd get into the spooky spirit in a dress of dead DH projects. Can't guarantee it's totally free of editorializing... #DHsewing

Same to you! 😀

It was a privilege this morning to welcome Dr. Evelien Hauwaerts (manuscripts curator, at Bruges Public Library) to give an online workshop for UCC on 'Working with IIIF in Research and Public Outreach'. I learned so much and the workshop materials are available www.mmmonk.be/en/about-iii...
