You do not want to miss out on the chance to hire @vmjaggard99. Move quickly, folks. You will not regret it.
Well folks, it's my last day on staff @NatGeo. It's been an amazing and humbling experience leading one of the finest teams in science journalism.
I'm taking October off, but if anyone needs a science editor, I'll likely be in the freelance market before year's end. Hit me up!
Excited for day two of #ACESAccelerate. Learned so much yesterday. I'll be presenting this afternoon -- a pre-recorded talk -- and hoping for an active chat to distract me from hearing my own voice!
Amazing.
The National Library of New Zealand pulled out the world's largest atlas "Earth Platinum" for #geocart2022 delegates. Wonderful rare opportunity to get up close with this spectacular piece of work and its chief cartographer Roger Smith on hand to discuss its creation.

Our massive reporting package on haunting, under-appreciated climate threats to the world's forests drove all 26 foreign additions of @NatGeo in May—a true rarity. Most also ran @keithladzinski's breathtaking cover of a giant sequoia. See the whole issue: nationalgeographic.com/magaz…

2 yrs ago, I wrote a story abt forests. Every scientist I spoke w/said we’re losing them to #climatechange faster than expected. And many aren’t coming back.
So @natgeo decided dedicate an entire issue to the future of forests.
Here it is. THREAD 1/20 nationalgeographic.com/magaz…
