How are science writers coping with the unprecedented assault on science and what is the path ahead? Was honored to discuss this at #SciWri25 plenary with @shiplives.bsky.social @jeanna.bsky.social and Erin Podolak. Missed @michellejewell.bsky.social who still contributed much from afar.

“I’m a senior citizen. I’m tired.” Truly a devastating story about people unable to recover from disasters, even using all their retirement savings. I fear this for so many of us.

Three regional CASCs - the Northeast, South Central and Pacific Islands - will cease operations in coming weeks because Dept of the Interior won’t approve their next 5-year agreements. Other CASCs have had projects cancelled and funds reprogrammed in violation of Congressional appropriations.

A climate science network may lose its Pacific hub. Here's what that means for local researchers

A local hub for climate research is facing an uncertain future. As HPR's Savannah Harriman-Pote reports, time is ticking for them to receive crucial federal funding.

The national network of Climate Adaptation Science Centers met this week in Juneau, AK. Our visit coincided with a glacial outburst flood, atmospheric river and landslide - hazards becoming more frequent and severe as climate warms. CASC science addresses these risks & more, but is under threat.

15 hours means a storm like this could be identified in the middle of the night and, if it was making landfall, you’d wake up needing to figure out evacuation later that day.

You DO NOT need a social media following to be a "good" conservationist. You DO NOT need a super aesthetic social media account to be an effective conservationist. Most of the superstar conservationists I know don't even have accounts. Just FYI for no particular reason...

I continue to find it fascinating that during times of crisis 1) people seem to think comms/scicomm will be able to overcome enormous systemic and political problems and 2) how everything we know about the deficit model flies out the window.
