From our Climate News Task Force partner!

Deadline Monday!

“It is sickle cell every minute, every hour, every day,” says Bijal Trivedi, former senior science editor for National Geographic, inaugural Sharon Begley Science Reporting Award recipient and 2025 Guggenheim Fellowship recipient, working on a new book that tells the story of sickle cell disease. 🧪

🧪 And now back to our regularly scheduled programming. @theopennotebook.bsky.social could really use your help too! We're a scrappy little nonprofit trying to do a lot with a little. If you're someone who thinks TON is awesome and is able to help, I'd be ever so grateful!

Time for some real talk: @thexylom.com, the only Asian American-run news outlet covering science, climate, and the environment, will run out of funding in July if we don't secure $7,500 by the end of the month. I might lose my job at a time while waiting for a visa extension -- a nightmare scenario.

Over the weekend, I finally published a piece I’ve been sitting with for several months now, trying to do it justice. It's about the state of climate change journalism (mainly in the U.S.)

Major #climate #journalist turns his 🔎on the field itself, history, data, charts, predictions. @chriscmooney.bsky.social @grist.org @nytimes.com @ksjatmit.bsky.social @sejorg.bsky.social @sciencewriting.bsky.social reportearth.substack.com/p/what-clima...
