+- While working on the CGIAR Climate Change Synthesis I learned some new tricks with OpenRefine
+
+<!--more-->
+
+- The first was to retrieve affiliations from OpenAlex and extract them from JSON with this GREL:
+
+```
+forEach(
+  value.parseJson()['authorships'],
+  a,
+  forEach(
+    a.parseJson()['institutions'],
+    i,
+    i['display_name']
+  ).join("||")
+).join("||")
+```
+
+- It is a nested `forEach` to extract all institutions for all authors
+- Second was a better way to deduplicate lists in Jython while preserving list order:
+
+```python
+# better dedupe preserves order
+seen = set()
+deduped_list = [x for x in value.split("||") if x not in seen and not seen.add(x)]
+
+return "||".join(deduped_list)
+```
