I hope this is a good step towards "clarity", an essential goal in science.
This is a joint work with the fantastic team: Aaron Bernstein, Joakim Blikstad, Jason Li, and Ta-Wei Tu.

Here are FIVE surprising ways federal data make your life better, with our friends at @essentialdata.us:
1. We get up to $53B/yr free pest control because we don't accidentally build bridges through bat habitats
2. We know where to get those sweet, sweet space minerals
