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.

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.

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.
