Posted by Helen Kara. Last week I received a #blimage challenge from @debsnet aka the édu flâneuse. When I came to the photo she had posted to inspire her challengees, it only took me a moment to link those overflowing hands with the data we researchers love to gather. You can do all sorts of things with data. For example, you can prepare data, code data, analyse data, synthesise data, visualise data. Present data and, if you’re like me, you can love data. In fact, I adore data! In the US and Full Fact.

If you come and tell me that music preferences in teenagers can be used to predict income levels in adulthood, I will be interested, but what I will most want to know is how you found that out.

https://dothepburn.wordpress.com/2016/01/12/why-hello-sorry-its-been-a-while
Sorry It’s Been A While. January 12, 2016. It happens, doesn’t it, when you lay out a plan, it works great at the start, and then something just – well changes. Then life happened….
