[Air-L] Reminder about US government research data availability

[Richard Forno]

Hi folks -

This is just a friendly reminder that if you're doing any research involving or depending on US government records, reports, or datasets from federal agencies, you might want to consider archiving and/or mirroring them on your end between now and 2025-01-20.  This is especially important if the materials you need are related to 'controversial' or 'fake' areas like medicine, climate change, socioeconomic issues, etc, etc. since they probably won't be available anymore once the next regime takes over.  Ergo, I'm sending up a warning flare, just in case.

Good luck to all....
