Earlier this year, California’s Death Valley was overrun by a superbloom. I visited the park in late March. It was incredible to see the desert all covered in purple and yellow flowers – and I wrote a short piece about it for Science News Explores. www.snexplores.org/article/scie...

If you've ever wondered what makes a LLM 'memorize' information, and spit it back out word-for-word, you should read this new piece by @peterha2l.bsky.social!

Happy to share my first story for @nature.com, looking at an aspect of science that doesn’t get discussed enough: retractions that happen because scientists discover honest mistakes in their work. I spoke with researchers who chose to self-retract about what helped them get through the process.

So excited to share a story I wrote for @snexplores.bsky.social on how some animals make themselves (almost) invisible - and why humans can't do the same! My last piece written as a @aaasmassmedia.bsky.social, and probably the one I had the most fun working on. www.snexplores.org/article/how-...

Highly recommend the @aaasmassmedia.bsky.social program for any scientists who want a behind-the-scenes look at how science journalism works!

So excited to share a comic I wrote out on @snexplores.bsky.social! Flamingos make underwater whirlpools with their heads and feet to catch shrimp 🦩🌀 Written during my @aaasmassmedia.bsky.social this summer: www.snexplores.org/article/flam.... Beautiful illustrations by the amazing JoAnna Wendel!

@natastron.nature.com's beautiful September cover shows the first ever image of a dying start that exploded twice on it's way to become a type 1a supernova. I got to write about this really cool discovery this summer for @sciencenews.bsky.social. www.sciencenews.org/article/supe...

This summer, I had the incredible opportunity to spend 10 weeks as a Mass Media Fellow with @aaas.org at @sciencenews.bsky.social. I wrote nine articles covering topics like astronomy, paleontology, neuroscience, human health and policy. Here are a few of the highlights:

So excited to be one of the 2025 AAAS #MassMediaFellows! I can’t wait to spend my summer writing about cool science at @scinews.bsky.social. Very grateful to @aaas.org and the @heisingsimonsfdn.bsky.social for this opportunity!
