Lots of people on my feed are concerned about the destruction of NOAA by the Trump administration and Elon Musk, but much of what I’ve seen people post about is the national weather service. That’s vital, but NOAA does so much more than that! My latest, for @ucsusa.bsky.social 🧪🌎🦑🐠

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! Have you taken three minutes to save the political independence of the civil service? It’s easy! Here’s how you can do it: news.chanda.science/archive/urge...

Elon Musk's DOGE has spent the last several months dismantling the departments & agencies that regulate HIS businesses. Our report found that Musk has a direct business interest in over 70% of the agencies & departments DOGE targeted. The conflicts of interest are endless.

We’ve received lots of comm about this today and partners are working on seeing what they can get secured. As an individual researcher please grab your own information and keep a copy.

The Trump administration plans to gut climate research at NOAA and NASA—key goals of the #Project2025 agenda. But what does that really mean, and why should you care? Dr. Marc Alessi breaks down how these cuts could impact us all:

Free-to-read opinion: We must ask how the crisis in the US can inform a more international, coordinated approach to countering geopolitical influence in research, write Louise Bezuidenhout and @hughshanahan.bsky.social www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-euro...

Thank you! www.rd-alliance.org/news/the-dat... 😊 🛟

We mostly focus on datasets, although we will help you find a home for any gov info. Figured y’all enjoy this.

I’m so proud to be a part of this awesome group. The Restricted access data issue is a major concern for us and should be for you too. Researchers are unable to access critical data for research. This is data we’ve paid for as taxpayers. You can help by speaking out and letting others know.

Awesome statement from PEDP and volunteers about the value of the federal digital infrastructure. Please share! www.nextgov.com/ideas/2025/0...

"Community-curated data resources in the Earth sciences, highly valuable but systematically underfunded, are vital to research on a changing planet" eos.org/opinions/the...

This is why data matter. Why we need to spread the word. “These agencies produce flagship reports such as the consumer price index and non-farm payrolls, which are closely scrutinised on Wall Street, along with a trove of lower-profile data that helps inform policy debates and academic research.”

An update on IMLS: "The board of the National Museum and Library Services, tasked under federal law with advising the director [of IMLS], has issued its first piece of advice to newly installed director Keith Sonderling: do not attempt to halt IMLS services." www.wordsandmoney.com/in-letter-im...

Gonna nerd: "This is not a moment, it's a movement." The article shows the widespread care & concern about our nation's public data. Much will be lost unless we preserve the data AND speak about its importance. This isn't an issue for academia. It is for all of us. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Hi, so I've spent the past almost-decade studying research uses of public social media data, like e.g. ML researchers using content from Twitter, Reddit, and Mastodon. Anyway, buckle up this is about to be a VERY long thread with lots of thoughts and links to papers. 🧵

@thebulletin.org Thank you for bringing attention to these issues in a thoughtful way. #DataRescue thebulletin.org/2025/03/were...

A Renewed Call for Preservation of At-Risk Government Data: myumi.ch/23Rdk

This!! This is why we need access to public data. Private companies exist for their own profit and not the public good. We need everyone to tell the stories about why they need public data. This impacts all of us #DataRescue www.marketplace.org/2025/02/21/n...

#UMISR: Preserve At-Risk Government Data! DataLumos, an open-access archive at ICPSR, is working to preserve/share critical govt data. Help keep the data accessible. Donate: datalumos.org Explore & contribute: myumi.ch/egrbW Volunteer: [email protected] #DataPreservation #SocialScience

All of these data management practices are beneficial, but if you don't document your data management decisions, and provide future users with background information on the who, what, where, when, why, as well as how to use your data, then your data is ultimately not useful.

Happening TODAY at 3 pm Eastern Federal dataset are disappearing. Join the Internet Archive and the Library Innovation Lab working to rescue them and learn how you can help. www.muckrock.com/news/archive... #gischat #geosky 🌊 ⚒️

Our group has been hard at work to release a new tool: The Data Rescue Tracker. The tool aims to provide a consolidated overview of who is downloading which dataset from which government websites. Please share! www.datarescueproject.org/data-rescue-...

Excited to see. We should have something out soon that can help them!

We are excited to let everyone know that we have a new website: www.datarescueproject.org/about-data-r... It includes the resources from the Google doc (that will stay live for a bit) and ways to stay in contact with us. Feel free to share! #LoveData25 #DataRescue

We created this in the early days of Bsky (last week). If you know an org missing, let us know as there have been many new accounts lately. Let's all raise a cup to the Bsky admins. go.bsky.app/6a2mbNf
