Even well-structured, FAIR-intended datasets can fail when Hidden Access Barriers get in the way 🔒

Hidden access barriers are obstacles that might not be obvious at first glance but still prevent users from reaching or retrieving data. 📊

SharkCat, accompanied by Dr. Nicola Knight, has been enjoying his time in Australia! This time at the #Eresau2025!

Sharkcat (in 2D form) had a great time networking with all the other plushies that were at the event, particularly his new koala friend from National Computational Infrastructure! 🐨🦈

Things are heating up in the Data Villa… 🔥

Cassie from CaSDaR is giving SharkCat from Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure (PSDI) the ultimate side-eye, 👀 and honestly, who can blame her?

Cassie’s all about transparency and reproducibility, and she won't have it!
