Federal statistical agencies like the Bureau of Labor Statistics need proper funding to accurately measure and track our fast-paced economy. Access to quality and timely data ➡️ better #evidencebased decisions

This is going to hurt rural America - and poor Americans. Dismantling impartial data gathering and analysis is like anti infrastructure spending. Derpcon 1.
"This was a clear politicization of the agency many of us loved for its non-partisan research and analysis,” a current ERS employee told POLITICO.

Emissions from eastern China account for at least 40–60% of the global rise in trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11) emissions since 2013, according to a Nature study. This rise is contrary to the Montreal Protocol agreement to phase out CFC production and use. go.nature.com/2WmBFJY

Great progress from @NIRHresearch. It means that the largest national funder of clinical research in Europe will now look at whether a researcher has registered & reported past trials when deciding whether to grant new funds. Every funder should follow this lead.

We've just launched our STATS for US project. It takes a critical look at the vital role of government statistics—how to access, understand, and use them. Why they need to be better designed and funded.
