Did you get any submissions for 'real workspaces' with stacks of books, papers all over the place, and sticky-notes all around the monitors? If you did, did you reject them? I too, have a newsletter that I started last year about data management. I only have about a…

I won't presume to speak for the owner of this newsletter, but I do receive it, and I'd just say: "I don't want to see messy spaces."

I didn't know I wanted to know the answer to this question but having now looked at that picture I reeeeaaaally do. You touch on a more serious point though: one of the issues that's apparent, at least here in the UK, is how suboptimal a lot of peoples' home setups are. Even mine, which I consider to be otherwise decent, is in a tiny little room that imposes considerable constraints. Moreover, loads of people don't h…
