To find out what marine science will look like in 2035, I covered the @nationalacademies.org Forecasting the Ocean report for my final Smithsonian Ocean Portal story. Thank you to my sources and to reviewer @nancyknowlton.bsky.social for lending their expertise!

What, exactly, is a pearl? It's this question I answer in my first story as this summer's Ocean Science Writing intern for the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Thanks to the museum's John Pfeiffer and @nature.org's @heidikalleway.bsky.social for insights!

Thank you to @earthjournalism.bsky.social for a fantastic 30x30 journalism workshop last month! It was an honor to be included as part of the selected cohort of reporters and learn more about efforts to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030.

Breaking News: Johns Hopkins University, a leader in scientific research, said it would eliminate more than 2,000 workers because of the Trump administration’s steep cuts, primarily to international aid programs.

Environmental news as of late has been...quite gloomy to say the least. So, I wrote about beekeeping for @scenichudson.bsky.social.

If not for the inclusion of facts and quotes, the number of bee-themed phrases I worked in would have been endless. 🐝

Documenting Poughkeepsie's urban biodiversity is a key first step to conservation.

A quick glimpse at the news shows us just some of the scale of damage caused by the fossil fuel industry. While the human cost is often irreparable, superfund laws can help cover some of the financial cost. We need to pass them everywhere!

We're heartbroken to witness the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.

The climate crisis is here, now, and all around us.

A tough start to the year for the Southern Resident orcas and this mother and calf.

We need to do more to protect these amazing marine mammals and the wild salmon they feed on, as the @centerforbiodiv.bsky.social's Brady Bradshaw says here.

Has journalism ever really worked as a commercial enterprise? Business beats, sure. Health beats, sure, but environmental journalism, or local news? Not really. Nice to see the happenings at @hakaimagazine.com as part of this story by @byemmadenes.bsky.social: emmadenes.com/2024/12/27/n...

Hey it's us, "a shining example of success in the journalism industry"! 😀
