Jamie Morton @jamiemorton.bsky.social · 19/02/2025Thanks Mike! Might be in touch next week (but not about looking for work haha) 100
Jamie Morton @jamiemorton.bsky.social · 19/02/2025Cheers Charlie, hope you & yours are doing well down there 010
Jamie Morton @jamiemorton.bsky.social · 18/02/2025I’ve also been lucky enough to pick up a few gongs, and to be on the spot for some of the biggest news events of the last decade. Again, I’m not quite sure of my next steps, but feel free to reach out in my private messages. My mobile number will stay the same :) 13240
Jamie Morton @jamiemorton.bsky.social · 18/02/2025I leave on good terms and will very much miss my Herald colleagues, who’ve been there for my family through some bloody tough times. The job has taken me around the world, to climate summits, disaster zones, from the Australian outback to Antarctica’s Dry Valleys. It's been a privilege. 3/ 1140
Jamie Morton @jamiemorton.bsky.social · 18/02/2025It’s a little bit of a leap into the unknown, but it’s my hope to continue writing or working in the science, environment and climate spaces. It’s also time for a change for me: next month marks 20 years with the company and up I’m for a fresh chapter and challenge. 2/ 1251
Jamie Morton @jamiemorton.bsky.social · 18/02/2025🧵 Life update (yes, sorry, one of those). Amid the latest restructure at the Herald, I’ve opted to take voluntary redundancy (as first reported today by our own Media Insider!). I finish up on April 1 and have a lot of work to get through before then. 1/ 6679
Jamie Morton @jamiemorton.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Congrats on the AAAS science prize too btw Kate (this is also my first post on here in months) 210

Jamie Morton @jamiemorton.bsky.social · 17/12/2023Hey there Sam. No unfortunately, but you can find the piece in today’s print edition. Much as I’d like more people to be able read it, I guess paywall revenue helps keep me in a job 120
Reposted by Jamie MortonFinn Illsley-Kemp @seismologyfinn.bsky.social · 17/12/2023Normally it would be exciting to be front page news but it's a pretty mixed feeling with today's story by Jamie Morton in the Herald. I was amongst a group of scientists who spoke to Jamie about the challenges facing the NZ science system. In short, we cannot go on like this 23412
Jamie Morton @jamiemorton.bsky.social · 17/12/2023I’d been working on this deep dive about what’s wrong with our science system for months before Massey moved to cut more than 60 roles last week. Whatever the new Govt decides to do, scientists have told me one thing: the sector can’t carry on like this. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/how-unive...nzherald.co.nz'The future potential is gone' - scientists fear for vital work amid huge job cutsUnending turmoil in our universities is heaping more strain on NZ's small science system. 45828
Jamie Morton @jamiemorton.bsky.social · 14/12/2023Thanks. Have got a deeper piece on all this bedlam in science coming out Monday 2251
Jamie Morton @jamiemorton.bsky.social · 14/12/2023Not really the first story I wanted to post in here, but this happened today www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/more-than... 53813
