Can a seasoned health writer and editor apply to be an intern for @philliesnation.bsky.social ?Probably not. But wouldn’t that be fun! Share this with a budding sports journalist in your network, and go Phils!

I worry I’ve communicated my intentions incorrectly here, and that can happen on social media. I’m eager to network with folks in the COPD, IBD, and T2D space, as I’m still finding my groove on Blue Sky. I’m not adding any writers to our team. I’m interested in networking for now. Thanks all!

It’s been 10 years since I interviewed experts about “the dress” buzz for Healio. www.healio.com/news/psychia... #thedress
#TheDress is a “trick” of the brain
Last week, social media was abuzz over a photo of a dress posted to the blogging site Tumblr. While the debate over whether the color of a dress is black and blue or white and gold continues, experts ...

If you’re in need of talented community health managers with expertise in content strategy and engagement, please let me know. I’ll point you in their direction. Undeniably talented folks at one of my former employers are on the hunt for a new opportunity.

Is anyone looking for a seasoned senior copywriter or manager of marketing content with a diverse resume? My husband is looking for a new opportunity. He’s been in and out of roles since 2021 due to layoff after layoff, based on business decisions (not performance).

Just got off of a video call with a PhD student who’s interested in science and health writing. I shared some tips and tricks I’ve picked up in my career. What are some you’d share with a young professional?

I know a guest editor for Accessible Journeys Magazine looking to interview seniors who travel with a #disability, which can be physical, mental, #neurodivergent, sight or hearing impaired, etc. If you or someone you know are interested in sharing your story, I can connect you.

Some current and former coworkers have had to evacuate their homes. I can’t imagine. I just feel so helpless. Here’s a list of ways to help here on the other side of the country for anyone else feeling the same. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Shoutout to the Los Angeles Times reporters who are doing essential journalism under very difficult circumstances.

They’ve dropped their paywall, but their ongoing coverage is a good reminder of why local newsrooms need support — and what we lose when those outlets are hollowed out.

Hello there! I’m a full-time health editor but would love to pick up some freelance writing gigs that don’t conflict with my corporate job. I subscribe to about five newsletters dedicated to freelance work, but I just wanted to be more active here. GIF for fun. #freelancechat
