Learn how to create stunning charts 📈 and maps 🌍 in this new lesson on Code Like a Journalist! We'll code #dataviz together using data from the 2023 Canadian wildfires. I rewrote it a few times, so I’d love for you to check it out. 😅 Link in the comments! 👇

Every scientist, long before they were a scientist, was a little kid who stood in front of a fish tank or stared up at the stars or turned over a rock to look at the bugs underneath and said “wow”. On the best days, working in science still feels like that.

Dear federal scientists: If you have been affected by the probationary firings and would be willing to speak with Science, please reach out to me by email ([email protected]) or on Signal. We can guarantee annonymity.
