Reflecting on how participatory science took root -- what worked, what didn’t, what’s next. A friend shared this brilliant podcast on ethics in health research: 5 episodes, 10 guests, deep honesty on justice, care & systems. Highly recommend. 🎧 ethicsinpractice.net/home

Hawaii is suing oil companies by invoking the state constitution's "public trust doctrine," which declares that “all public natural resources are held in trust by the State for the benefit of the people." Sarah J. Morath explores this new trend in environmental litigation.

In NYC this week for UN Open Source, bringing the open science hardware angle. Grateful for the GOSH community - folks worldwide making tools like 3D-printed microscopes & air/water sensors. Curious? Their forum is a great place to start: openhardware.science

Spending time this morning catching up on one of my favorite projects, the open-weather community. Today, their eNews starts, "On Friday 6 June, members of the open-weather network captured the last images from NOAA-18..." Cliffhanger, but you can check them out here: open-weather.community

📣 New article from ‪@euniceml.bsky.social‬, Alison Parker, & me in @techpolicypress.bsky.social on the role of procurement in shaping the infrastructure of democracy, arguing for the role of open-source in producing a better vision to broaden who can participate in federal procurement systems.

#OpenScience Hardware in Govt Procurement: OSH cuts costs & drives innovation—but outdated policies block progress. New @wilsoncenter.org & @openenvirodata.bsky.social report by @euniceml.bsky.social of @orca-open.bsky.social suggests solutions: bit.ly/447Upzd #OpenHardware #OpenSource

We’re so proud to release the Community Data Playbook! Communities around the world collect and use #environmental data, but face barriers in using data to its fullest extent; to unlock the potential benefits of community-generated environmental data, we need better data governance approaches.

"As data and resources are deleted or altered, something foundational is also at risk: Americans’ ability to access and evaluate their past, and with it, their already shaky trust in facts." Nice rundown, including a shoutout to @openenvirodata.bsky.social for work in env & climate data space.

From colleagues at Open Environmental Data Project and partners, an OpEd on digital infrastructure, federal collapse, and how we move through and past this moment to, "re-build our digital infrastructure — to make it more useful, more meaningful and ultimately to improve the lives of Americans."

Everyone's suddenly talking about Signal for some reason. If you don't know - here's what it should and shouldn't be used for. www.technologyreview.com/2025/03/27/1...

Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications. 1/

This is a tragic loss. Monitoring air quality at U.S. embassies and consulates supports the health not only of the staff at those embassies, but the health of the neighboring communities. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/c...

Thread - I've been thinking a lot about Walter Lippmann’s Public Opinion lately, especially in the context of Musk’s role in dismantling the federal workforce through DOGE. It’s a perfect example of what Lippmann warned about over a century ago.
