Hey if anyone is considering backing up any datasets for some reason today, the Open Science Framework has free storage up to 5G/private repository, and up to 50G/public repository. (The OSF is run by a 501c3 (Center for Open Science), so if you do this you might also consider making a donation.)

I'm obviously a big #rstats fan, but I wasn't taught it at university. Instead, I learned a random assortment of software depending on the class / textbook. Then I couldn't apply the techniques unless the company had the right software, which is what drove me to learn R. 👌🏼
