Scientist/science writer friends: I want an easier way to keep up with ecology/biology/science papers this year, so I want to subscribe to a journal. But I don't like reading on a screen so I want a paper one or one I can print out in full. I have no academic affiliation. Suggestions?

Meant to post this some days ago but I got distracted.

My latest for @invertebratepal.bsky.social's work on Hallucigenia's ecology, interpreting the little fellas as scavengers of soft-bodied carcasses.

Ive said this off-hand on panels and interviews over the last few years sort of as a joke, but after Trump’s invasion of Venezuela I realized I am dead serious

We need to start talking like the chemtrail people
It's time to embrace climate conspiracy
Trump’s Venezuela oil play exposes what climate reporting has documented for decades—if we’re willing to say it out loud.

I found this article to be helpful (in a terrible way) and I'm glad I subscribed to @wired.com last year, they've been doing some really great coverage

The 3 Keys to Understanding Trump’s Retro Coup in Venezuela
This weekend’s invasion was both a throwback to the last century and a new, uniquely Trumpian nightmare—one that’s just beginning.

This piece, which I learned about from @katharinehayhoe.com's newsletter, is really powerful: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEpP...
It manages to display climate data in a way that provides an emotional gut punch.

I was flipping through the car radio and heard familiar voices. It was @rosemarymosco.com and @corinanewsome.bsky.social talking about birds! A thoroughly enjoyable listen.

Take action to defend NCAR today.
The Trump admin intends to dismantle the National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), one of the US' leading weather and climate research institutions.

We must urge Congress to halt this dangerous action immediately.

🔗Take action: act.ucsusa.org/4oWtCwz

The US government called NCAR a “stronghold for left-wing climate lunacy” which is a wild thing to say during the 2nd hottest year on record, in the middle of horrific west coast storms and flooding, in a year that saw wildfire-red skies and hurricanes devastating Jamaica, Asheville and more
NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.

Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.

Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.

Unbelievable.
