Massive and energized crowd in Seattle says #HandsOff Democracy on a sunny Saturday. Who did an accurate crowd count? Easily 30,000 “pissed but peaceful” patriots.

Anyone have a link to a livestream for Seattle #HandsOff rally?

My message to those that aim to sow distrust in science & healthcare: You picked the wrong group to dismiss and discount. We do not yield to misinformation and lies! #standupforscience2025 @sufsseattle.bsky.social @standupforscience.bsky.social

These are awesome. Would love to see similar pics when rally was at its peak to measure crowd size. Estimated size: 2,000-5,000. Anyone catch that or have official numbers? Also, click the link👇 to see what @sufsseattle.bsky.social is doing next.

So heartening to see a few thousand scientists, grad students, healthcare workers, support staff, and members of the public #standupforscience at the Seattle rally. The message - Science is for everyone - rang loud and clear. And so many great signs…

The crowd is swelling as Seattle stands up for science. @govbobferguson.bsky.social just stopped by. Fired NOAA researcher, censored mathematician, and climate scientists are showing why science is for everyone! #standupforscience2025

Today @sciencewriters.org announced the planned conference in Pittsburgh is without a home after University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon backed out of their commitment to host and withdrew financial support for #SciWri2025. No reason for this about face given. www.nasw.org/article/scie...

Oh boy. Not liking this trend. “We could get serious about mandatory testing of cows, milk and farmworkers and about isolating infected cattle herds — as we already do for birds and pigs.” www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/o...

Glad this is official. A great solution to strengthen two great news orgs. Support if you can.

Ok, for all the journalists out there who’ve seen Wicked the movie, what were the chillingly prescient moments that struck you? (I need to see it again - and take notes.)

Michael Bradbury @seattlescienceguy.bsky.social · 27/11/2024
Yes, this.

Yes, please.

So sad that this is necessary in the US. But it is. Safety and security are top issues now.

Why is the Arctic Ocean getting louder? Never thought of the ocean soundscape as another way to measure climate change. What a great event, @nswa.bsky.social and @jrmorber.bsky.social. Thanks, @townhallseattle.bsky.social. Such fascinating fish factoids. Read this book!

Highlight of the week: @lynnepeeps.bsky.social book launch at Town Hall Seattle. P.S. I feel vindicated for having low light levels in my house at night and a lot of natural light during the day - keeping my circadian rhythms in sync. Now, go buy The Inner Clock. Time’s a tickin’.

Whelp, we overwhelmed the bar for our NW Science Writers happy hour with @ferrisjabr.bsky.social and 25 members. So fascinating learning about how Emily Dickinson and Virginia Woolf influenced the lyrical writing of his new book, Becoming Earth: How Our Planet Came to Life.

Whoop. NW Science writers, nonprofit, took author @zoeschlanger.bsky.social and moderator @brookejarvis.bsky.social out after a Town Hall event. Join www.nwscience.org to get to do this with other authors. Gratitude to both of them for sharing insider info about publishing.
7 people stand in a semi-circle outside Town Hall Seattle. Among them is Zoe Schlanger, author of "The Light Eaters" a science book about botany. The group gathered because of the Northwest Science Writers Assn.

Many were momentarily #unitedbybeauty as the #auroraborealis illuminated the atmosphere in a spectacular dance of light and color. We need more planet-uniting moments but so grateful to have had this one. No filters, no editing. Just nature through the lens of my iPhone with a 3 sec exposure.

Super sad milestone. On March 15, CO2 measured at @NOAA Mauna Loa Observatory reached 427ppm for the first time. Since April 10, there have been five other 427ppm days and one 428ppm day. That means in my lifetime we’ve added 100ppm of CO2 to the atmosphere…and counting.☹️

It was a big week at #SEJ2024 in Philly. So much fun to accompany the massive amount of information I absorbed. Got to hone the elevator pitch for my book too. It was awesome seeing old friends and making new ones.

Doomism leads to disengagement, says @michaelemann.bsky.social And a lot of Doomism is based on science misinformation. #SEJ2024

Great discussion on science and disinformation by U Penn’s Prof Kathleen Hall Jamison and climate scientist @MichaelEMann at #SEJ2024 conference in Philadelphia. “Every bit of carbon we don’t burn makes us better off.”
