I finally got a chance to read this and agree it is so good, I wanted to share for anyone else who missed it.

If you're looking for some Friday afternoon reading, I recommend this gripping tale about women cyclists who escaped from Afghanistan, by Kim Cross. This is one of those great sports stories that is about a whole lot more than sports. www.bicycling.com/culture/a625...

If you're a reporter, even if you "only cover science," you have likely encountered trauma - in your sources or yourself or both. It's not something a lot of us were trained to handle, a hole that @beebrookshire.bsky.social and I are trying to fill. Join us at @sciencewriters.org meeting.

I suddenly have a bunch of new followers - hello! I'm not sure why but it seems like good motivation to reengage on here. More soon!

Maiken Nedergaard has drawn recognition and criticism for her work on glymphatics, which she describes as a brain washing system. By @emilysohn.bsky.social bit.ly/3TgOfXZ

Virginia Kraft wanted to write about something other than hemlines, so she learned to hunt. Why has media history overlooked this journalism pioneer? Read THE CATCH: thecatch.longlead.com

Yaaaaay welcome NASW to bluer skies!

This book is going to be so good!

A behind-the-scenes look at "The Catch" for anyone who wants a little more of the backstory!

Ever hear of Virginia Kraft? You're not alone. But she was a journalism pioneer for Sports Illustrated, a hell of a shot with a rifle, and a complicated protagonist. Read this incredible epic by @emilysohn.bsky.social, with Creative Direction by yours truly. thecatch.longlead.com

This looks like a good one!

If journalism is history’s first draft, why was one of its pioneers edited out? Next week, @longlead.bsky.social drops a revision, revealing a female sports writer overlooked by time. Be the first to read her story. Subscribe to our newsletter to know exactly when it goes live: buff.ly/3QGe01o

In case you missed it (or were there and wish you'd taken more notes), @beebrookshire.bsky.social wrote this fantastic summary of our trauma-informed reporting panel for science writers. Stay tuned for more on this, and let us know if you have specific questions you'd like to see addressed.

Kudos to @beebrookshire.bsky.social and all of our panelists, this sessions was so good and important that I teared up in the middle of it. I highly recommend that all journalists check out the Dart Center to learn how to address trauma (your sources and your own) in your reporting.
