Olivia Martin, USAFacts on Electric Ladies Podcast   What is the Earth saying this year? We see lots of reports from various sources, but the ones that government officials and business leaders tend to rely on are from government sources, whether those sources are local, state or federal. What does the information say about the State of Earth in 2021 and where does that data come from?   Listen to this fascinating interview with data scientist Olivia Martin of USAFacts on Electric Ladies, the podcast formerly known as Green Connections Radio, with host Joan Michelson.  USAFacts is a nonprofit founded by former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to collect and analyze data from all government sources, no matter how granular they need to get. And, they make sense of it for the rest of us, translating what the Earth's data is telling us, so we can use it. You'll hear: How USAFacts.org collects this information and keeps it up to date. How they analyze and organize it, and find sources to fill in the gaps, so we can use it. What Earth is saying in 2021 – and the loud alarms about climate change we need to heed. How you can use this data – to vote, contact your representatives and hold government accountable. Plus, insightful career advice from an old soul in a young lady…. and more. "Whenever you're a woman in a field that is typically not dominated by women, which is very true in the data space …I think having confidence in yourself and having confidence in the research you've done and your own preparation is important."
