Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

🚨Academic scientist friends who are members-ideally leaders- of scientific professional societies, I need your help. 🚨

One day after the White House environmental justice website went dark, please join me in welcoming the father of environmental justice to Bluesky. Yes, sociologist @drrobertbullard.bsky.social literally defined the concept in his 1990 book, Dumping in Dixie: Race, Class and Environmental Quality.

We're excited today to announce Finspan, the slightly lighter cousin to Wingspan! Finspan features a familiar structure to Wingspan but with a number of new mechanisms built around the aquatic theme. It'll launch on January 22 on our webstore and ship in the weeks that follow!
