"Where will the water come from? (Aquifer? Lake? Reservoir? River?)"

Our September 2025 newsletter has questions to help determine the #water footprint of planned #DataCenters and #CCS projects.

If you can't get answers, that's important info in its own right.

Researchers can fight these attacks by spreading insights into how fed funded research works, and sharing how we serve the public with the fed dollars we work hard to earn.

Fantastic and clear description of why we need indirect costs to support research that improves health - just think about all of the people and infrastructure needed to safely store blood samples.
