I’m thrilled to share a blog I co-authored for #WDPD2025: “Why Preserve? The UKERC Energy Data Centre Team Contemplates…”
We each tackled the big question "why preserve digital energy data?" from our own perspectives.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

FAIR-IF in a nutshell:

In #OSTrails, we’re working closely with the EOSC FAIR Metrics Task Forces to make FAIR assessment seamless and scalable:

The ultimate goal? A powerful FAIR-IF engine driving assessments, invisible to researchers, but essential for FAIR outcomes.

Open and accessible data is good for everyone and I strive to improve the EDC even further in the future
