Fascinating story about wolves and dogs in Italy rubbing shoulders, and other bits. From @gennarotomma.bsky.social, we learn that a wolf will look for a "good enough" partner sometimes and there are potential ecological ramifications: www.biographic.com/nearly-half-...

Say adios to wolves, and buongiorno to wolf-dog hybrids. www.biographic.com/nearly-half-...

Really excited to finally see my new story for @biographic.bsky.social out in the world! www.biographic.com/nearly-half-...

Wrote a story for @sciam.bsky.social about what happens when you give salmon cocaine (yes, you read that right), and @tomlumperson.bsky.social made such a brilliant video about it! [Thanks to @andreatweather.bsky.social as always for the great editing work]

I love writing weird animal behavior stories like this one. 🧵 www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...

One of the lesser-known sides of air pollution is the effects it has on the lives of insects. I summed up what we know—and what we should be concerned about—in this story for NatGeo. www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...

If you write primarily about nature and environmental issues, it can be hard to see the value of your work during times like these. I wrote about this a bit in my introduction to @biographic.bsky.social's weekly newsletter.

Always great to work with the @sciam.bsky.social team! 🫎💧

Loved writing this story for @biographic.bsky.social 🐺 There’s everything you would find in a mystery novel: a suspicious death, an investigation, and a final unexpected twist. www.biographic.com/mercury-risi...

You know what you were missing from your life? A video of a drone collecting whale snot 🤧 youtu.be/OcPiuKUJBUA

Excited to see my first story for @knowablemag.bsky.social out today! 🐳 knowablemagazine.org/content/arti...

Who knew that whales blasted snot through their blowholes, or that drones could collect the viscous fluid and teach us so much about whales in the process? Written by @gennarotomma.bsky.social for us at @knowablemag.bsky.social -- and a very fine story it is 🧪

Before I started working on this story, I had no idea that there were dolphins living just outside Rome. Well, turns out there are hundreds of them—and they are not doing well. www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...

To figure out the tributaries and other spots where Yangtze finless porpoises formerly lived, researchers turned to ancient poetry (by @gennarotomma.bsky.social) 🧪 (Look at that cute faaaaace.)

Loved writing this story for NatGeo about the present and future of fireflies around the world 🌍 www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...

*lightning strikes* Most living things: No thank you! These tropical trees: Yes, please! 🧪 (by @gennarotomma.bsky.social)

Can bees help mitigate the escalating human-elephant conflict around the world? I tried to answer this question in my first story for the BBC, speaking with experts, scientists and people working and living at the frontline of the conflict. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...
