I'm just a PI, standing in front of his lab, asking them once again to please label things more specifically than "Abstract.docx" or "Grant.docx"

Awesome!

🤜🤛

My birthday is in June, in case anyone is wondering.....

One of my go-tos: "If no one's responsible for that task, that's exactly who does it"

So much of data management (and a lot of other task-oriented stuff) is just roles and responsibilities

Thanks, Sean. I was leaning this way as well.

Yeah, I saw that in the FAQs. Ok cool, I'll need to think on this! Thanks!

This might be a dumb question, but I'm assuming you don't want to use this if you are working with sensitive/identifiable data?

A screenshot of an RStudio window. On the left-hand side is a new pain called Posit Assistant. The Posit Assistant had recently run code making a lat-lon plot of Washington state, colored by whether the point had been marked as forested or not.

Today we're releasing AI for RStudio. It's really, really good—I'd encourage you to point it at the messiest data sources you have and see what it can do.

Chapter 7 Project Roles and Responsibilities | Data Management in Large-Scale Education Research Figure 7.1: Planning roles in the research project life cycle. Part of the DMP and planning data management phase, as noted in previous chapters, will include assigning roles and responsibilities...

datamgmtinedresearch.com/roles

At the beginning of a research project, it is important to assign and document roles, not just presume roles.

Doing so helps team members know exactly what is expected of them, allows them to develop standardized workflows, as well as create contingency plans for continuity of practices.

Great thread here. Thanks to everyone that shared.

A new way to read & write Markdown Typora is a cross-platform minimal markdown editor, providing seamless experience for both markdown readers and writers.

it's 2026! there are tons of kickass tools for composing text out there that aren't the thing that was state of the art in 1996!

some great ones
typora.io minimalist, attractive markdown editor ($15)
quarto.org scientific and technical publishing ($0)
zotero.org automatic citations & reflists ($0)

if there tiktok videos sending up your software, and they go uber-viral because *everyone has experienced your software doing what they're making fun of*, maybe it's, like, bad software?

Thanks for sharing, Jenna!

I came across this platform that might be of interest to ed researchers.

"A community-powered platform that helps educators, families, researchers, and leaders compare what's working (and what isn't) across real settings — and connect practice to credible evidence."
