US scientists scramble to rescue disappearing federal datasets
Original: "Until recently, the idea that the US science community would have to track or rescue lost datasets was unthinkable." #
US researchers are increasingly engaged in tracking down and rescuing government scientific datasets that have gone missing or been removed, a task that would have been unthinkable until recently. Commenters link the data losses to the Trump administration's policies, particularly on climate science, and warn that erasing records undermines research on the climate crisis and public accountability.
Why now: Concerns that the Trump administration is removing or endangering federal scientific data, especially climate-related datasets.
