This week on Everybody in the Pool, we're taking a deep dive into the unsung hero of climate solutions: federal data. This crucial data helps predict extreme weather, guide public health responses, and by the way, underpins a whole lot of existing and future climate tech startups. But the US government is pulling the plug on long-standing climate infrastructure, and all kinds of groups are scrambling to protect it. Molly talks with Jonathan Gilmour, a data scientist from Harvard, who’s on a mission to protect this precious resource. He's part of a team working tirelessly to keep these datasets safe and accessible for all the researchers, startups, and policymakers who need them. If you're curious about how federal data impacts everything from insurance rates to groundbreaking tech innovations, this episode is a must-listen. Discover why protecting this data is not just important—it's essential for our future.
