Texas and Florida floods show climate change's deadly effects - @denisehruby.bsky.social @miamiherald.com www.miamiherald.com/news/local/e...

Let's get ahead of hurricane season. We're putting together a series of stories to help you navigate the annual storm season. You should have a hurricane kit. Here's what it'll cost, more or less. www.miamiherald.com/news/weather...

What it looks like when parts of a mountain & a glacier come crashing down a village. Absolutely terrifying. There are so many places across the Alps that face similar risks - something I've been covering for years, incl. from France & Italy for Nat Geo: www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/...

"Worst-case scenario". Some 300 residents were evacuated; cows were airlifted by helicopter. I first reported about how the warming climate is making mountains less stable back in 2019 when I traveled across Switzerland with @tcristofoletti.bsky.social

“There's more stories than we can possibly cover," @denisehruby.bsky.social said. "I often say it's the front lines of climate change. I feel like you can have so much impact when you report on climate change in a community that's already affected.” #SEJ2025 www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

We made our j6 audio doc a year and change after the capitol attack. It was designed to stand the test of time. I still think about the extraordinary people who went on mic, all the time This history will be with us for many years to come.

Did the XX chromosome population where I grew up succumb to some scary virus? Cause here‘s the „leading figures’ outlook on 2025“ cover of the paper I grew up with.

Elon Musk shocked many in Germany last week by endorsing its far-right Alternative for Germany party. This week, as Germany prepares for elections, he doubled down.

These charts on electric vehicles, clean energy, batteries, and more show where the global clean energy transition stands — and where it’s headed. www.canarymedia.com/...

Why paying for a newspaper (or real journalism) is worth every penny. Florida is no longer the Sunshine State. To get a public record, you often have to hire a lawyer.

Working on a new syllabus for a multimedia journalism class at Florida International University. What are some standout examples for you? (I know pretty much all journalism is „multimedia“ now but still)

given how late it appeared in the year, I'm extra grateful to the NPR people for featuring "The Harvard Plan" from @bostonglobe.com & @onthemedia.bsky.social in this excellent list www.npr.org/2024/12/20/g...

I've always been fascinated by the power of visual storytelling, interspersed with topical humor to drive points home. When I was with NASA I explored this in many of my internal educational presentations. The world that was, the world that is now and the world may yet come to pass:

Christmas, Key West style

“This isn’t a market…. A market means liquidity, repeatability, standards. We have none of that here.” Plus: We have close to zero facilities that can actually do it.

A wild ride indeed 👇🏼

Today's read: A terrible boat crash. A teenage girl dead in the water. A powerful and wealthy man at the helm. Yet the Miami-Dade state attorney ignored mounting evidence that alcohol was a factor in the fatal crash. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

The clues that alcohol was a factor in a catastrophic boat crash in 2022 that drowned one teen and permanently disabled another emerged immediately. Yet it took less than seven hours for investigators to rule out alcohol as a factor, records reviewed by the Miami Herald show.🧵

Have you ordered your Christmas eels yet? Have you?? Medieval kings often served eels at their Xmas feasts. In 1213, King John had 10,000 eels at his holiday party. His son, Henry, once ordered up 40,000! So get on it! You don't want your party to be the First Nö-eel, do you? 🗃️🧪

So much of Harvard is about educating tomorrow's leaders. How its own leadership failed so dramatically that Harvard's first Black president resigned is fascinating - and tricky to untangle. Nobody could have done a better job than @ilyamarritz.bsky.social www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

A big deal:

From this article by @miamiherald.bsky.social's @denisehruby.bsky.social: "For starters, experts said, this could be a sign that rising sea levels, caused by the continued emission of greenhouse gases, is accelerating the erosion of the limestone on which #SouthFlorida is built." #ClimateChange

After a study found dozens of sinking condos and hotels in Miami, at least one of the cities told us they'll take another look at the constructions. Here's our update, plus more on why they might be sinking. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/e...

It's a long and very technical read, but I do recommend the University of Miami study that identified that 35 condos and hotels are sinking. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/... Here's our story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/e...

Update: Our story on the 35 condos and hotels in Miami-Dade that are sinking now includes a list of the buildings, identified by the University of Miami. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/e...

"Game changer" study shows that some of Miami's condos and hotels are sinking. “It’s probably a much larger problem than we know."

Miami is struggling to maintain its tree canopy. Homeowners & developers are chopping them down nearly as fast as the city can replace them. A proposed rule change could make that even easier. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/e...

“The greatness of America is strengthened by science—it helps us lift people up, improve the human condition, and build a better world.”

Chinese journalist and former Harvard Nieman fellow Dong Yuyu will appeal on Monday a severe sentence of 7 years on a charge of “espionage” — which his family and the US State Dept. have called unjust. His family has a new statement dismantling the court case: www.press.org/newsroom/fol...

Hey there, Marina!

More from Art Basel

At Art Basel last night. Kept waiting for man (and blobfish) to start moving.

Wishing everyone a happy #WorldSoilDay! My favorite soil fact is that, as long as it’s not submerged in water, any given soil is probably consuming methane from the atmosphere. Yup, even in the desert! Pictured: a Mojave field site where I’ve measured active microbial CH4 uptake from the air. 🌍🧪🦠

The University of Miami’s gorgeous research vessel

Trends observed at Spectrum Miami art fair: Banana jokes, glitter, rubber ducks and Trump. This combines two in one.

The United States is now producing enough domestic solar to cover nearly all annual deployment. That's what policy can do, folks! And a majority of these jobs are in Republican districts.

Order your “Listen to NOAA” shirts now!

Absolutely, this. “We are headed towards a larger number of extremely intense storms that do far more damage and lead to far greater levels of mortality driven by the warming of the oceans from carbon pollution." @michaelemann.bsky.social www.npr.org/2024/11/27/n...

“What’s up with all the plastics here?” a baffled Portland friend visiting Miami asked me this week. I spoke to WLRN about the state’s protection of plastics and Miami-Dade’s recent push to eliminate them www.wlrn.org/podcast/the-...

The three dolphins I saw playing in Miami’s Biscayne Bay this morning might just get to swim around a *little* less plastic

“Fort Myers Beach residents will no longer get a 25% discount on their flood insurance — an average increase of about $300 per resident— because FEMA found that rebuilding efforts from previous storms weren’t good enough.” By @harrisalexc.bsky.social www.miamiherald.com/news/weather...

"Prepare for the worst." Sobering reading from @niemanreports.org and @amlwhere.bsky.social: niemanreports.org/dear-america/

Covered China long enough that this isn't surprising, BUT: Someone had to go through thousands of pages, interview dozens of people, travel across the globe, and go through extensive legal review to prove what was a hunch or rumor. That's what great journalism does. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/w...

Phyllo-wrapped celery root with apple cider glaze

Re-upping my colleagues’ shocking investigation of police killing a young man - and why his mother ended up on trial. A fantastic piece of journalism precisely because it doesn’t shy away from the complexity of what could have been reported as yet another “officer-involved shooting”.

Many of us think of PTSD as something that affects veterans. But living through a hurricane can cause PTSD, too. Here’s how you can recognize the symptoms, and what you need to know about getting treatment: www.miamiherald.com/news/weather...
