I am a card carrying sock-fluencer!

Thus begins a confusing time of year for me when I have to try and figure out how to sock-fluence!

youtu.be/ktATbq9g-08 Data analysis is a bit like doing a jigsaw - at first all the bits & pieces make no sense, but you sort through them, get familiar, start to notice - these ones have straight edges, these ones are blue, you group & sort, & try & turn etc until: a picture!

You may have seen some penguins here of late. I have been making a penguin advent calendar all year, and it's nearly ready!

If you could see in my house you would see a pile in the corner of the dining room that is the advent calendars I am currently building for friends and family.

When I had finished the fieldwork for my PhD my data was in the form of hundreds of pages of written notes (there were also 47k photos to back up my understanding of these notes). How do you take hundreds of pages of fieldnotes into Findings?
