It was something! But we learned a lot, have a lot of data to work with, and I hope IsoArcH and IsoBank were able to improve based on testing what happens when giant amounts of isotope data comes their way.

Thanks to my co-authors, several of whom I've yet to meet in real life (how neat is scientific work?), the reviewers for seeing my vision, the 374 corresponding authors from the original projects, and the editor, who let me keep over 50 pages of refs and this silly contributions

Hence why the project is ARDUOUS: Aligning Repositories/Databases by Utilizing Optimized Upload
Strategies. We had a lil logo for our Slack channel that was appropriate

More than just making it available, we made sure the results of this tedium had longevity. We placed this mega-dataset into two of the best isotope repositories I know, IsoArcH.eu and IsoBank. Folks using these repos will find the data version-controlled and ready to use with other data held there

As a team, we compiled and cleaned 28,347 published bioavailable 87Sr/86Sr data from 474 previously published datasets. Why put ourselves through that?!
When a large amount of this data are compiled, harmonized, and made more discoverable, researchers across disciplines can reuse it.

that 'dog' doesn't look like it wants to be petted, is all I'm saying.

Country girl Jill often shepherds students and does administrative tasks because they're far too nice and a team-player, even though they're literally the best out in the field.

His reaction was 'BRO, are you KIDDING me?!', which is peak sibling

Perhaps students should organize and file complaints against every single faculty member along with every administrative leader. Shut it down so the absurdity is clear.

this explains that whole 'Prime Minister suggesting you scrape the mold off the top of jams/chutneys' thing that occurred
