Researchers often complain they don't receive recognition for adopting open science practices. However, there are positive exceptions!
@universiteitleiden colleague Naomi Truan shares her experience: Making data openly available "leads to recognition. I’ve been contacted many times based on my data. I see that it makes a difference in how people perceive our discipline and how I’m evaluated in my field."

If my insurance agent could see the shit I get up to in my home, I don't think he'd be quite so nice to me.
But hey! Project complete! We got the giant 36" Trinitron in the loft, and with only one new scratch and one smashed finger. Everything is still sort of pulled apart but you can get a general idea of the layout. His and hers PCs and TVs on either end, with the CRT and retro consoles in the center (less strain on the controller cables and makes split screen co-op easier).
Well... Not quite complete. I still have to reattach the tinted panels, rework all the power/AV cables, install all the consoles, disassemble and remove the hoist, put the couch back, and clean.
But this was the hard part!
