From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

Prescribed burning can reduce the severity and amount of smoke from wildfires that burn those areas later on, even when accounting for smoke from the prescribed burns themselves, according to new analysis of California’s record-breaking 2020 fire season from

As California expands its prescribed burning efforts, a study of more than 180 such projects suggests they are an effective way to reduce a blaze's intensity and smoke
