Great #data #sovereignty READ! Thanks @samjscience @Nature featuring @NativeBio and cofounders @kstsosie @kfox @science_punx “How rapidly we can sequence.. create data... commodify — I don’t think that the policy has caught up,” says Fox.

Promoting , Dr. Lydia Johnson! "Scholars seek to ensure Indigenous peoples have governance rights to data. [ ] in a manner that is consistent with supporting Indigenous peoples’ rights, interests, self-determination, collective benefit, & well-being." https://t.co/WPiOVUHPZV

Promoting the work of one of dependable colleagues, Bambi Ingraham from U. Alabama. She and department win awards for sustainable systems! NativeBio and Indigenous people need these kinds of experts and friends! https://t.co/aRWPG5ZVRi

NativeBio continues to work among our growing Indigenous Network to share necessary experiences so that all American Indians, Alaska Natives & Pacific Islanders can retain their data, sovereignty & cultures in this Wild West Landscape of Technocracy. https://t.co/9XFprYxu5G

A 3-day, 2023 Workshop was held to talk about National, Tribal and Inter-tribal plans to handle the future (now, present) Big Data and AI landscape. NativeBio and CEIGR were there! https://t.co/skmUA5vVlL

The #IDsov Movement can't be stopped. In 2024, we submitted or worked on innovative decentralized grants with the Venter Institute, 100& Change w/Stanford & African Nations & D4I TDR These ideas of secure, decolonized datasharing are spreading like fire. https://t.co/bis0ZiLfgA

Indigenous peoples are having resource stolen all over again. Who gets the data? Who gets the money? Who has legal authority to say yes or no? Indigenous Data Sovereignty is not a slogan. It is the next frontier of self-determination. https://t.co/ViOQvLEcMj

NativeBio is a leader in the Indigenous Data Sovereignty movement. We are agnostic to data and samples because we have to be. They are coming for everything. Everything that's left. We want to be a Safe Harbor and are a Safe Harbor. https://t.co/dlkjff0xja

From Australian, Pacific and Indigenous Data Sovereignty scholars world wide. Stand up before they hold you down and take all your stuff. https://t.co/UZl2aStYvy

From Jim Sill and Harvard School of Indigenous Governance and Development (economies).... good stuff....read with intent. https://t.co/VpvvvYYhyw

Thanks Dr. Betsy Nelson (Turtle Mountain Chippewa) for letting us put your visage on a T-shirt! On the back it says #MicrobiomeBack ! in your honor. Share far and wide!. https://t.co/eNmsnXdjJA

We deeply thank Dr.s Mackey, Fox and Robert Wood Johnson for completing this unique and groundbreaking work to help all peoples (especially the Indigenous) protect themselves from the Corporate Hoovering of all the data.

Blockchain's next breakthrough may not be finance. It may be data governance.

New research out of @UCSanDiego from Tim Mackey, MAS, PhD and collaborators from the Native BioData Consortium (@NativeBio) explores how blockchain can empower Indigenous Data Sovereignty through decentralized governance, smart contracts, and community-led decision making.

Science, Research and Public Health have been poltiical for the last 50 years when Congress finally figured out via the Bayh Dole act of 1980 that data was worth something. Now we are in a mess of capitalist extraction and Snake Oil Salesmen competitors.

How did this cyclosporiasis outbreak travel so far, so fast?

Reasons both regulatory and biological have made it particularly hard to track the source and contain its spread—revealing gaps in America’s food safety systems. https://t.co/enApNRwh0d

Summer Internship for Indigenous Peoples in Genomics 2026 -SING USA doing our Sunday meditation session. Portends to be a great week (save for the smoke from Canada. Condolences and good thoughts for our First Nations & Metis relatives).
