Surely at a baseline any kind of data needs to have application/ clinical utility. As I work with CYPs, any data or reports I use are done in a way that service users and lay ppl can understand. Making data accessible is a skill in itself!

Yes it is an important skill though I wonder if there is more importance in something like programming rather than communicating research to public. Perhaps it depends on research area?

Don’t think the two are comparable as ‘either or’. You may need programming to help get data in the first place- but if you can’t communicate and it’s need in some fashion, then the perceived value drops exponentially.

Good point. Important to build up all skills as a researcher from programming, to using statistics to writing effectively for both an academic & also general audiences, which are two different kinds of creatures. But is this being a jack of all trades?

I think they are core competencies of a good researcher, than when maximised, make excellent researchers and academics.

Honestly I never really thought a researcher needs to be good at multiple skills. But thinking about it, it's true. As well as understanding your area and being good at writing, you need to be up to date with programming, stats, be good at choosing good PhD students etc
