I’ve had Data Carpentry on the brain lately, as I work to become more involved in the community so I thought I’d share a post I really liked by Christine Bahlai called Soft(ware) Skills.

I’ve also run into the importance of knowing good spreadsheet practices again this semester, so I’ll also link my favorite little lesson from Data Carpentry, common formatting problems in spreadsheets.

This post is a cool look into applying the Open Science Framework to the Eleanor Roosevelt Papers Project.
