Kristin Briney's newest publication offers a practical guide to implementing the core principles of data management. The goal of data management is to make implicit assumptions explicit. Briney's exercises provide guidance for articulating the critical and foundational work that is often assumed, and she does so in a lively and accessible manner. In addition to guiding researchers and librarians, this workbook, combined with her first book, Data Management for Researchers, could serve as a basis for a graduate-level course on data management. - Lynda Kellam, author of "Databrarianship: The Academic Data Librarian in Theory and Practice"

I'm deeply grateful that @lyndamk.bsky.social wrote a lovely blurb for my book, "The Data Management Workbook," which comes out in just over a month.

I really admire Lynda's work, her books, and her recent efforts with the @datarescueproject.org.

Ten Vital Services Provided by NOAA (Beyond the National Weather Service) Far too much of the media coverage supporting NOAA only mentions one of many things they do: here are 10 more.

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

Urgent: Take Action to Protect Public Services Photo by Katie Rodriguez on Unsplash I have something you can do in five minutes or less that can help salvage the integrity of the federal civil service,...

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.

5 Reasons NOAA and NASA Cuts Will Be Disastrous for Everyone in the US The Trump Administration plan to cut research on climate change and extreme weather events, including tornadoes and hurricanes, puts us in peril.

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:

US data purges draw on a playbook used worldwide - Research Professional News Make Trump’s censorship a catalyst to protect research everywhere, say Louise Bezuidenhout and Hugh Shanahan

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

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.
