I feel the same way, and I've had several conversations here with people who feel similarly. You are not alone in this. As statisticians, we have skills that are even more crucial now than ever: understanding bias, combatting misinformation, making evidence-based arguments. (1/)

I would not be functional without my mood stabilizer and antipsychotic. If they get taken away from me, I don’t know what will happen. #bipolar

I'm trying to put together a short presentation for my students on the current situation with federal data disappearing and archival efforts to save these data. What things should I include? Any links or suggestions welcome.

Yes, and connect with others who are archiving data. There are lots of efforts to get as much of it saved as possible

I still feel awkward calling senators and representatives but this app makes it as easy as possible. It helps you call, keep track, and provides you with a script and instructions.

not paying indirect costs for research is like only paying the players in the Super Bowl. can't have a Super Bowl without coaches, referees, security, janitors, announcers, stadium staff, and a stadium - and you can't have research without supporting people and facilities

I’m feeling defeated today. I won’t let that stop me. One foot in front of the other, we have to keep fighting this fight.

Here's the script I wrote for calling my representative about the latest horrors. Would probably benefit from a better breakdown of how indirects work, but I didn't want it to get too long. Now I just need to decide whether to call now or wait for Monday when I can talk to an actual person.

This may be a stupid question, I'm having trouble figuring out how to get this data. I'm not a python user with no experience with data.gov before this. Does anyone want to create a youtube video tutorial that can be shared? I also think students, non-statisticians, etc would benefit from that.

We just launched a 16TB archive of every dataset that has been available on data.gov since November. This will be updated day by day as new datasets appear. It can be freely copied, and we're sharing the code behind it to help others make their own archives of data they depend on.

I think I have to stop checking social media right before bed. I can barely handle it during the day, but seeing all the day’s news right before trying to sleep is not good.
