In other news, I'm incredibly passionate about data reproducibility and replicability in research. About a month ago, I dedicated myself to mastering the intricacies of data quality in research and just a few days ago, I was thrilled to receive this NASA badge as a reward.

The Accent Charter was created as a part of solutions to that problem. The Accent Charter is the first substantial evidence that shows commitment to the inclusion, and acceptance of all accents in all forms, levels, and mediums of organizational communication.
