My researchers and #writers out there-back up your data EVERY DAY. #academicchatter A grad student in my department never got his masters because his computer crashed and he lost all his data and didn't back up. ' The easiest way is having a system that synchs to a server or cloud. If you are handwriting data, take a picture with your phone and save the image!! FYI #professors out there, many students have told me that they only back up their work once a semester! #phdlife #gradschoolife #writingcommunity #highereducation #academia #writinglife #researchlife #lablife
