What people seem to do is ENTER the data in Excel. This is disturbing. Please do not do that.https://twitter.com/deevybee/status/1031151509965352960 …

TBF the alternatives for human data entry are very limited. Even I'll admit Excel is good for that. Important to structure the data first.

Even if Excel is known to mangle stuff and other less bloated and cheaper software does less of this?

I can't say with certainty what is better as a) I don't enter data manually (I think this is important experience-based knowledge) and b) a lot of the issues highlighted by people are input-specific. So I'd suggest shopping around — Google Sheets? https://support.google.com/docs/answer/6388102?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en …

I would stick my neck out and state that the issue, 100%, is that biologists aren't universally trained in how to enter data into any system, anywhere. You're just left to your own devices, because, hey if you don't put that you "know" Excel on your CV, you look like a dingus.

I dunno - there's not a job interview goes by that Excel (or MS Office) isn't explicitly mentioned in IT skills. It's like a lowest common denominator.

Really?! MS Office put as a "skill" on any CV I see is instantly graded down. Doesn't mean they don't get to interview, but it raises a flag.

Depends on the job, but hey, I don't grade anyone *down* for saying that they have used a technical product relevant to their discipline.

It's more indication of the field than an individual TBH.
