The Valuable, Vulnerable, Long Tail of Earth Science Databases - Eos Community-curated data resources in the Earth sciences, highly valuable but systematically underfunded, are vital to research on a changing planet.

Opinion: If scientific databases in the Earth and environmental sciences are not adequately supported, we risk losing and potentially needing to replace these resources, an extremely costly, yet preventable, outcome.

Senator Whitehouse speaks with Zelenskyy

Glad to join bipartisan Senate group expressing solidarity with President Zelenskyy and the brave Ukrainian people.

As a former nutmegger (CT resident) I was always so deeply glad @blumenthal.senate.gov , @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, and @jimhimes01.bsky.social were representing me. Go get ‘em, Congressmen!!! @whitehouse.senate.gov , @amo.house.gov heads up!!

I think it’s time to follow through on my idea to get more people in my company onboard with open source.

Happy Superb Owl to all the fans! Not much into American football but I did make some awesome ribs and chicken wings for my mom and step-dad to enjoy with the game!

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer.

Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

Thank you, Congressman! Keep fighting!

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

Thank you!!

Yes! Thank you!

Please, Senator, do you have a plan? Let us know what we can do to stop this illegal takeover of our data by a private citizen.

Raise visibility, dammit!! Get in there with relentless live video coverage of the Musk operatives taking over OPM. Tell people exactly what these unauthorized kids are doing and make it clear this isn't legal. Show their faces and name them.

Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly

Some feel good fun! Snails and frogs just want to have, too!

Please, Senator. Vote NO on RFK. He is unqualified and holds dangerously wrong ideas about public health. Please do not vote for him.
