My latest for @science.org. - Illegal miners have forced Peru’s oldest environmental research station to suspend work. Gold mining has so far led to the deforestation of 140,000 ha of Amazonian rainforest in Peru - about half the size of Yosemite National Park www.science.org/content/arti...

“Freelance journalism in 2025 is an incredibly difficult place to build a career. But, it turns out, it’s a decent enough arena for a scam.” This whole story. Holy cow. thelocal.to/investigatin...

Many freelance journalists lean on writing-adjacent work, even outside journalism, to support their passion for reporting and writing, writes @bwfund.bsky.social early-career fellow @skylerdware.bsky.social in this story w/ @hannahseo.com, @kkdfv.bsky.social, @jtsangwrites.bsky.social, and others. 🧪

Linda Guamán and Xiména Abarca fought bravely through humiliation, ignorance, and threats of a 10-year prison sentence to defend their scientific expertise that ultimately saved thousands in Quito during the pandemic. My follow-up story for @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

Do you work in conservation science, particularly outside the U.S.? Did you lose your job or funding for your job because of cuts to U.S. federal agencies? Do you want to talk about it? DM me please. (This is for a @biographic.bsky.social story) [Iceland photo for attention only]

My new @science.org editorial on the role of scientists in defending democracy is out today. As authoritarianism takes hold in the US, we must fight for the democratic principles that enable a free society and scientists have a key role. I hope you'll join us. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

My latest in @science.org Ecuador: The government of one of the most biodiverse countries on the planet eliminates its environment and science agencies - well, to be more precise: it MERGES the environment ministry with the mining-energy ministry! www.science.org/content/arti...

My 1st feature article in Science! This story was one of the hardest I’ve ever worked on since it deals with Indigenous human remains. It took me a whole year of relentless pursuit of Indigenous sources across Ecuador but without them, this story wouldn't shine. www.science.org/content/arti...
