We welcome Peter Knoll as our #GuestEditor of this week! Journalist Peter Knoll is a member of the #TELI 🇩🇪 Board since 2017. He has a solid IT background thanks to his training at Siemens-Nixdorf and has mainly worked as an editor for IT media such as PC Magazin.

Reporting on controversial topics— from AI to animal testing—can be daunting, especially when the science is murky. Yet, reporting on these topics is both necessary and rewarding. When done well, journalists can provide valuable insight and clarity for readers. Find a host of resources here.

Are you an editor looking for freelancers who cover a particular topic? A journalist looking potential collaborators or editors to pitch? Our Science Writers Database now has almost 1,800 entries from professionals in more than 85 countries. Join or check it out! 🧪

"The pitch database was so useful to learn how to tailor pitches, and the articles gave me confidence that what I was finding hard others find hard too … TON gave me confidence when I needed it most and allowed me to continually improve my skills as I worked. Thank you so much!"

#GuestEditor How can we ever truly understand the impact of climate change on the environment if we don't monitor it over decades and decades? That's exactly what the folks at @IISD_ELA have been doing since 1968...! 🔗bit.ly/4jrM0eN

#GuestEditor from @SWC_Can: When oil spills happen, we need to detect them quickly. And ice can make this process even more challenging. Scientists at @IISD_ELA have discovered that the answer is ... dogs' noses! 🐶 (No, really). 🔗 bit.ly/3Sgotl3

#GuestEditor: Plastic. Fantastic? Scientists at @IISD_ELA are adding plastics into a lake to discover the impact on everything from tiny invertebrates to fish. And then they're applying those findings to create better environmental policy around the world. 🔗 bit.ly/ELAPlastics

#GuestEditor: It's incredible how lakes in Canada have so much in common with the African Great Lakes. That's why the fine folks at @IISD_ELA have been working to amplify the voices and careers of African Women in Science for years. 🔗bit.ly/ELAAfricanWomen
