And congrats to @carlasamonros.bsky.social & @johannahansel.bsky.social for @insideclimatenews.org and @heyhelina.bsky.social & @jgasspoore.bsky.social for @nyamnews.bsky.social whose projects focus on lithium mining and extreme heat in NYC, respectively. We look forward to promoting your work!

As I emerge from my post- #SEJ2025 sleep coma & reflect on a whirlwind conference, I want to again publicly thank these badass leaders — @amywestervelt.bsky.social & @heyhelina.bsky.social — for getting on stage w/ me last minute for real talk about this moment in climate & environmental journalism.

Truly honored. Special thanks to the New York Press Association for the award and to my editor @damaso.bsky.social for all the support in telling these stories!
