Regina George may be a Mean Girl, but even she knows the truth: data need documentation to be reusable. This #MemeMonday we celebrate the importance of readmes, codebooks, methodologies, metadata -- whatever you call it, it's essential for reusing data of all types.

Meme of a still from Mean Girls. A blonde white woman, Regina George, smiles. The photo has superimposed text which reads: "So you agree? You think all data should have robust documentation to enable reuse?"

🛒 Groceries nearby. Clinics and parks? Not so much. New in @plos.org: U.S. neighborhoods with the highest share of essential workers had about half the doctors' offices and park space. 📖 doi.org/10.1371/jour... @um-src.bsky.social @umisr.bsky.social @icpsr.bsky.social

NaNDA graphic labeled "New publication." Headline: "Groceries nearby. Clinics and parks? Not so much." Below it: "Essential work, unequal places: A nationwide look at the neighborhoods essential workers came home to. Neighborhood characteristics of the essential workforce in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic."

ISR’s NaNDA has received an $11M National Institute on Aging award to expand its neighborhood data collection by about 30%. Led by Philippa Clarke and Grace Noppert, the project will support new research on respiratory illness, environmental hazards and healthy aging.

Headline reads Neighborhood by Neighborhood: Mapping What Shapes Healthy Aging; text reads NaNDA is expanding national data on how neighborhood conditions affect health as people age; highlighted text reads $11 Million Award from the National Institute on Aging; illustration shows an older couple walking through a neighborhood with trees, a house, a Fresh Foods market, and a map with connected location points; Institute for Social Research and NaNDA appear at the bottom.

More than half of U.S. public parks are within two miles of an industrial facility handling toxic chemicals. ISR researchers helped map where parks, industrial facilities and Superfund sites intersect, adding new context to research on neighborhood environments. @kduchowny.bsky.social

headline reads Beyond the Boundary and subhead reads What surrounds a park can matter, too. Text identifies Philippa Clarke as Research Professor, ISR, and quote reads While communities may experience health benefits from parks, our findings indicate that this does not necessarily occur in isolation from toxic exposures. Key findings say more than half of U.S. public parks are within 2 miles of an active industrial facility that handles toxic chemicals, and nearly 27,000 parks are close to a Superfund site. Illustration shows a person walking a dog from a green park path toward an industrial area with smoke and polluted water; Institute for Social Research appears at top.

Trump’s termination of Register of Copyrights is a brazen, unprecedented power grab with no legal basis. It is surely no coincidence he acted less than a day after she refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.
