Please, I'm begging you, if you're a researcher, archive your data, back up your files, have a data succession plan.

Chat to your library, chat to your colleagues. The best time is as you collect the data, the second best time is now.

I'm dealing with multiple different data nightmares now. People leave academia, people retire, people pass away with a plan to make a plan.

No judgement here, just sadness for all that hard work thrown into uncertainty.

Doing a test here to see how much reach this #mastodon account with 550 followers has compared to the same test on #Threads with a 430 Follower count.

I suspect I already know the answer.

If you see this please Boost and Like, and if you want to leave a comment feel free to that.
