I don't do big data, you don't do big data, none of us do big data. And that's fine

Do you think you do big data in ecology? You don't. Stop lying. In this talk, I will make the point that ecologists should be much more concerned by small data, lack of interoperability, absence of standards, and a general lackadaisicalness about "good practices" for data management. The solutions are (i) teaching and (ii) realizing that a computer is part of your job equipment as much as a lab coat and field boots. Learn how to use it. May contain mild to moderate swearing.
