I'm reading about GDPR for a thing* and am wryly amused at the constant use of "processing".
Mostly because my old PI's big cogneuro pet peeve - that she would bring up in every seminar and meeting - was that the term meant everything and nothing.

Books are not precious, it’s ok to get rid of them if you’re running out of space or whatever.
eBooks are great. Who wants to bring a giant tome on a plane.
Turn down those corners, it’s fine.

A friendly reminder that the NIH Public Access Policy IS NOT “you must publish open access” but rather “you must ensure your copy of your paper is deposited into PubMed Central.”
Yes, it is very confusing. Yes, you should be able to do that deposit yourself without paying anything to a journal.
