Hey! I have noticed that the Google storage bucket for the MICrONs data `mat_dbs/public/` (i.e., [https://storage.googleapis.com/mat\_dbs/public/minnie65\_phase3\_v1](https://storage.googleapis.com/mat_dbs/public/minnie65_phase3_v1) ) is not accessible today, requiring additional permissions. Note that it was accessible yesterday. ---

Thank you for the report. This is a bug, and not intended. We’ll look into this and resolve the access issue. We’ll get back to you soon as we have an update. ---

I can confirm that it is working properly now, Thanks to Dr. Sunkin and the Team.
