I'm hosting a new podcast for the @data_foundation called Data for the People! We explore the national data infrastructure that powers daily life but is hard to see and even harder to appreciate. Learn more here: dataforthepeople.buzzsprout.com

New @PolicyViz podcast: The rapidly changing landscape of federal data and statistical agencies Our President & CEO @NickRHart discusses what's been happening behind the scenes as agencies face staffing cuts, data removals, and political pressure 🧵

On the latest episode of the Data Foundation podcast, David Dutwin of @NORCNews draws on recent survey findings for @AmstatNews to reflect on people’s trust in federal data, institutions, and one another: buff.ly/dExY4Uk

Only 37 percent of U.S. adults believe federal statistics are generally accurate. NORC's David Dutwin joined the @data_foundation's Data for the People! podcast to discuss what Americans think about federal data and the agencies that produce it. Hear the full conversation: go.norc.org/4aTkgNg

On this week's episode of Management Matters, a podcast from @napawash, our very own @NickRHart talks with @rich_coffin of @USAFacts about what's new and exciting in the enormous and expanding universe of government data. buff.ly/8J0ZzgN

📢 Federal agencies publish evidence plans, evaluation reports, and data governance guidance across dozens of websites. There's no centralized place to find it all. We're changing that with the Evidence Act Hub. Join our webinar to learn more: buff.ly/Ohh8IfJ

📣 Which national datasets deliver the greatest value to the American people? We want your input. Our new People's Data 100 initiative combines broad community input with expert evaluation to answer this question systematically. Here's how it works 🧵

UPDATE: Our webinar on the Evidence Act's Public Trust Rule, which is co-hosted by @theNASEM, has confirmed speakers, including Katharine Abraham, the chair of The National Academies' Committee on National Statistics. Register👉 buff.ly/XXxfXo9

"We can't let perfect be the enemy of the good." At a recent event, leaders across insurance, VC, and climate science agreed: we need BOTH long-term observations and innovative new data sources to manage climate risk. The Climate Data Collaborative is building those connections.

A new blog from @jbwogan summarizes key takeaways from our webinar on changes to the federal data ecosystem, including Data.gov, in 2025: buff.ly/dO04xhl
