As an academic in the creative and performing arts sphere, with a virginal and timid understanding of the Figshare platform, I have used a very simple figurative representation of my understanding of Figshare as my baptismal offering to the platform. The simplicity of the powerpoint figure I have generated mirrors my burgeoning knowledge of it's academic worth; the knowledge I have so far gleaned has only been possible due to my collaboration in the Data Creativities project. #datacreativities
