Bay Area Open Science Group - Rescuing Federal Research Data
This month Yea-Hung Chen and Ariel Deardorff from UCSF will present on efforts to safeguard disappearing government data. Since early 2025 several federal research datasets have been altered or deleted in response to executive orders from the White House. These actions have raised significant concerns about the accessibility and integrity of government data. For example, in February, several datasets from the US Census Bureau suddenly became unavailable, and others from the CDC were removed and then later restored. In this presentation, we will explore the latest developments in data censorship and the current efforts to rescue and preserve government datasets. You’ll learn about the organizations that have worked to preserve data, alternative sources of government data, and how you can get involved to protect valuable public information.
UCSF welcomes all participants to our events. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in this event because of a disability, please contact Ariel Deardorff at ariel.deardorff@ucsf.edu as soon as possible.
