"Steps taken include the creation and expansion of scientific integrity policies at many federal agencies that detail how government scientists should conduct and publish research, what to do if political appointees try to block that work, and outline the penalties for violations. Scientific integrity officers have been newly installed at several agencies to enforce the policies. And, new union contracts carry consequences for political appointees who retaliate against scientists for following the policies.'

All this is well and good, but I have an idea, with nowhere to go with it.
Anyone know where I can go and what data I can gather if I have a NAS and several terabytes of space that I'm doing nothing with?
Is there a project out there maybe torrenting or something scientific data so that it's everywhere? I've been trying to search and I am at the point that I'm not sure I'm searching for the right thing...
Also might be worth backing up Wikipedia as Musk has been attacking it. Look into Kiwix.
I have been doing kiwix, thanks though!
I'd start at Anna's Archive, I think they index articles as well as books.
Yes! OK that's a start! Thanks!
