Many research teams still collect paper forms and when it comes to entering data from those forms, there are a series of decisions to be made (and documented) to ensure that data is entered accurately and in a secure and standardized way. More information: datamgmtinedresearch.com/capture#capt...

Busy catching up these days but adding to my list of ideas is a paper tentatively titled "sovereignty in a glottal" because #orthography matters and maintaining control over our orthography is directly tied to #sovereignty in digital spaces. Also large glottal stops are ugly.

Was gifted some Two Row sunflower earrings from an elder I've been crossing paths with for the past year. She's the only other Haudenosaunee woman involved in archaeology I know! Now I'm crying 😭

Appreciate Dartmouth for highlighting our recent work! Recognizing Indigenous rights in our environmental data is not only good for the communities whom the data pertains to, but also produces better science that is grounded in the expertise of the communities that steward these data relations.

Hardly new info, but BSky should know: Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply. Thank you, little guardian molluscs. 🧪🌏🚰

Pottery class at Tuscarora! Very fun! Was invited to do a short presentation before the class about the pots and pipes used by our ancestors. Some people used ancient designs, others followed their own imagination. I'm not a potter, so the opportunity to mess with some clay was great!
