Three yes/no questions isn't proper stewardship from #NIH. It's failure of being FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). When this hits the federal register, imma respondin' STAT. @csmarcum.bsky.social will thank you for it. #defenddata #defendresearch #opendata #openscience

I disagree. I'm going to do science comms with my colleagues. And too many OCPL members were RIFd. It's my service to this country to keep their torch going. If I don't, then what are we fighting for, if anything? #BethesdaDeclaration #defendresearch #defenddata

Wall Street Leaning Harder on Private Data After Trump BLS Spat Philip Petursson has relied on Bureau of Labor Statistics data for decades to inform his investing recommendations at IG Wealth Management. Not solely, but as a key input, he said.

@asa-scipol.bsky.social says it perfectly, "The administration must recommit to the integrity and objectivity of our statistical agencies. The alternative is a system where only the wealthy have access to reliable data." Open data is a human right. #defenddata #defendresearch #BLS #statssky
