About US research data under threat and how everyone can contribute to saving it - @lavaeolus and me were interviewed in the TU Delft paper Delta: https://delta.tudelft.nl/en/article/saving-academic-data-is-easier-than-you-think-and-you-can-do-it-too mostly regarding our parts in the Safeguarding Research and Culture initiative at https://safeguar.de

Excellent news! We got a small amount of funding to hire two people half time to help put together a Horizon Europe proposal for Safeguarding Research and Culture [1].
The idea is to develop the SciOp catalogue software to make distributed archives part of the Fediverse, riding on BitTorrent, and get more institutions, libraries and archives involved. With a focus, in this case, on Europe.
If you are interested in preventing digital cultural heritage materials from falling through the memory hole, preventing marginalised and racialised groups from being erased from view, decentralised, federated and peer to peer technologies and have experience with putting together EU Horizon grant proposals, have the right to work in the EU or UK and would like a part time job starting yesterday for a couple of months, please get in touch!

You may have heard that globalchange.gov and all the national reports on climate change have gone down.
We got em all on #sciop, a webrip and all the PDFs extracted: https://sciop.net/datasets/globalchange-gov-webrip

Have a disused laptop or Raspi? Make it part of the swarm and take the data outside the US (or any) administration's grasp!
