Global warming surpassed 1.5 degrees Celsius for the past three years, meaning Earth is currently on track to breach the Paris climate agreement by the end of the decade

Late post! This was one of my favorite stories I wrote in 2025! For decades, scientists have leveraged mosses to monitor air pollutants like sulfur and trace metals, in a process known as biomonitoring. Now, a new air pollutant is in town: microplastics | for @cenmag.bsky.social

My latest for @npr.org: a fun quick turnaround about bat-eating rats and what this predatory behavior means for bat conservation and public health! www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Next in the #Changemaker series @nature.com, chemist @drdaisyrosasv.bsky.social says at a time when US programs are pulling back on #DEI, Latinx researchers need to be even louder about the supports they need to succeed in #STEM. As told to @becroldan.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Can life persist even in the most polluted places? The answer is yes. These places are even home to organisms that detoxify contaminants! More on the microbes living in Superfund sites - and what they mean for environmental cleanup - in my latest for @cenmag.bsky.social: cen.acs.org/environment/...

“NSF says it’s OK to research technologies to help those with disabilities…But a training program serving only those with a disability would not be acceptable because it would be based on “broadening participation in STEM on the basis of a protected characteristic.””

NSF has spent decades—and billions of dollars—trying to attract more women and members of underrepresented groups into STEM. Not anymore. scim.ag/3RUtgZg

This week, NSF launched a sexual misconduct crisis hotline for researchers, as an expansion of the agency's efforts to address sexual misconduct in the U.S. Antarctic Program. My first news piece for @science.org: www.science.org/content/arti...

In terminating hundreds of NIH grants, the Trump administration dumped years of investment down the drain. In my latest @opinion.bloomberg.com column, we analyzed the cancelled projects & talked to scientists to understand just how much the public loses out. It's a lot: tinyurl.com/bdey86su

My latest for @cenmag.bsky.social: How Nicole Dickson-Karn, an analytical teaching professor at the Ohio State University, used the East Palestine train derailment disaster to teach her students about the real-world applications of chemistry. cen.acs.org/education/un...

Check out this great article from @becroldan.bsky.social! Thanks for including me and the Schlenk Line Survival Guide!

My first "big" feature is out in C&EN! It highlights how open educational resources are hard to find for advanced chemists, but there *are* chemists who are committed to creating these free resources for others. #ChemSky👇 💡 cen.acs.org/education/gr...

It is horrifying watching the government erase a demographic in real time and most people just not really caring.

Excellent reporting by @hencarnell.bsky.social for @motherjones.com on how trans health care has always been conservative and difficult to access

"Siloing science journalism is dangerous because it leaves the public vulnerable to misinformation. ... It allows powerful actors to manipulate public understanding by filling the void left by a lack of evidence-based reporting." www.niemanlab.org/2024/12/scie... by @siricarpenter.bsky.social

The ever amazing @becroldan.bsky.social wrote about me for @cenmag.bsky.social! 👨‍🔬

I first met Nate Cardin on this queer podcast I ran in grad school. It was such a joy to profile him for @cenmag.bsky.social about his crosswording and game show adventures. He even created a chem-themed crossword to go along with the piece! Check it out!! #ChemTwitter👇 cen.acs.org/people/profi...

Did you miss our #SciWri24 national meeting this year? Read a recap of the "Tools, Toys, or Trouble: Can A.I. Help Science Communicators?" workshop in Raleigh filed by NASW conference travel fellow Bec Roldan (@becroldan.bsky.social): www.nasw.org/article...#SciWri24💚🧪📝

I had an incredible time attending my first NASW conference hashtag#SciWri24 last month and I want to thank @younglandis.bsky.social and the folks at @sciencewriters.org for sponsoring me as a travel fellow. Check out my coverage of a conference session below 👇 if you weren't able to attend!

Hi #Chemsky! I'm looking for sources for a story I'm working on about technical and research-relevant open source educational resources. 👇More below

".. some science is polarizing. But that does not make it not science." 💯 great piece from @sabs.bsky.social

It's trans day of remembrance where we remember all of our siblings we've lost this year to violence and hate. We know we've lost at least 350 trans and nonbinary people have been murdered in the last year. We honor the dead and fight like hell for the living.

I can’t say enough good things about this fellowship! Apply! Seriously do it. And any queer & trans folks out there — DM me and I’ll read over your application! 🦋

In my latest for @cenmag.bsky.social, I profiled three chemists for C&EN's 2024 Trailblazers Issue highlighting Latinx chemists. All articles are available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
