I decided to start a sweater for my holiday break knitting. I’m currently working on the back of an Intricate Pullover by Norah Gaughan. I love this Sustainawool yarn from Ewetopia. I’ve made good progress but have a long way to go…

I can't believe that my new book, The Data Management Workbook, comes out in less than 2 weeks.

I'm very grateful to @cbahlai.bsky.social for writing this wonderful endorsement for it. Christie is not only a great scientist, but also an advocate for data management and open science.

Very happy book pile in my office: all three of my books together in one place. 🥰

In happy news, I finally finished the handknit cardigan I started at the beginning of 2025. I didn’t swatch (note to self: you know better than to skip swatching), so I had to go back and fix the sleeves. But it’s all good now and I have a chunky, cozy cardigan to wear this winter!

Best day of the year: getting author copies of my new book, “The Data Management Workbook.” It comes out on December 2 from @pelagic.bsky.social and is already available for pre-order.

I'm deeply grateful that @lyndamk.bsky.social wrote a lovely blurb for my book, "The Data Management Workbook," which comes out in just over a month.

I really admire Lynda's work, her books, and her recent efforts with the @datarescueproject.org.

Also grateful for the endorsement from @katelaskowski.bsky.social, whose story I share at the very beginning of "The Data Management Workbook."

Her talk "What to Do When You Don’t Trust Your Data Anymore" (www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxDe...) inspired me -- it's a data management success story.

I'm incredibly grateful for early endorsements of "The Data Management Workbook," like this one from my peer @cghlewis.bsky.social who wrote the amazing "Data Management in Large-Scale Education Research" (if you do education research, this is the data management book for you).

I went to @nhm.org this weekend and really enjoyed the PST Art exhibit about the making of museum dioramas. I'm now reading the exhibit book, "Fabricating Wilderness," and it's fantastic. It's such an interesting blend of history, science, and art, describing the 100 years of dioramas at the museum.
