Sign our petition to let @society4science.bsky.social @mayaajmera.bsky.social know you stand with us! We just want management to value our work as much as we value its mission to inform, educate and inspire. A #faircontract shouldn't take over a year to negotiate!

Workers of the Science News Media Guild will conduct a 24-hour #strike on Wednesday, 11/5. This comes after our members voted to reject the Society’s latest contract proposal. Our members previously voted by 92% to authorize a strike against the @society4science.bsky.social, if necessary.

Today marks 500 days since we started bargaining. Seems like you’re a little behind on that fair contract, @society4science.bsky.social. It’s all good. Here’s a calendar to help you keep track of the important things. As science journalists, meeting deadlines is kind of our thing.

Dinosaurs are still alive. Today, we call them birds
Birds don’t look like the scaly giants of Jurassic World. But fossils are revealing how these modern-day dinosaurs descended from ancient reptiles.
