The Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Maine’s Labor Market and Workforce
This article uses a variety of data sources to examine the pandemic’s impact on the labor market in Maine, first by putting it in the context of past recessions, then by assessing telework suitability across occupations, and finally by exploring the differential job losses that occurred during the pandemic by sector and by gender and educational attainment
New methods ring changes for the tree of life
Relationships among prokaryotes and the origin of
eukaryotes have both proven controversial, with results
depending upon the gene sequences and methods used.
Extensive horizontal gene transfer is one possible
reason why inferring such deep phylogenetic relationships
is difficult. In two recent papers, Lake and Rivera
introduce new methods that can be used to reconstruct
the genomic tree in the presence of horizontal gene
transfers, but which suggest that a ring rather than a
tree is a better representation of some parts of the
history of life on Earth

Archive Management of NASA Earth Observation Data to Support Cloud Analysis
NASA collects, processes and distributes petabytes of Earth Observation (EO) data from satellites, aircraft, in situ instruments and model output, with an order of magnitude increase expected by 2024. Cloud-based web object storage (WOS) of these data can simplify the execution of such an increase. More importantly, it can also facilitate user analysis of those volumes by making the data available to the massively parallel computing power in the cloud. However, storing EO data in cloud WOS has a ripple effect throughout the NASA archive system with unexpected challenges and opportunities. One challenge is modifying data servicing software (such as Web Coverage Service servers) to access and subset data that are no longer on a directly accessible file system, but rather in cloud WOS. Opportunities include refactoring of the archive software to a cloud-native architecture; virtualizing data products by computing on demand; and reorganizing data to be more analysis-friendly

NASA's Big Earth Data Initiative Accomplishments
The goal of NASA's effort for BEDI is to improve the usability, discoverability, and accessibility of Earth Observation data in support of societal benefit areas. Accomplishments: In support of BEDI goals, datasets have been entered into Common Metadata Repository(CMR), made available via the Open-source Project for a Network Data Access Protocol (OPeNDAP), have a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) registered for the dataset, and to support fast visualization many layers have been added in to the Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS)
