Reflecting on how participatory science took root -- what worked, what didn’t, what’s next. A friend shared this brilliant podcast on ethics in health research: 5 episodes, 10 guests, deep honesty on justice, care & systems. Highly recommend.

Hawaii is suing oil companies by invoking the state constitution's "public trust doctrine," which declares that “all public natural resources are held in trust by the State for the benefit of the people." Sarah J. Morath explores this new trend in environmental litigation.

Communities around the world collect and use #environmental data, but face barriers in using data to its fullest extent; to unlock the potential benefits of community-generated environmental data, we need better data governance approaches.

Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications. 1/
