The support of @pulitzercenter.bsky.social and the freedom and trust afforded by my editors @insideclimatenews.org has allowed me to act as both reporter and photographer for this series. I hope you find the story is moving as I do. I did my best to do it justice!

Some of you may know that in a previous life, I was on track to become professional documentary photographer. Then the pandemic happened. 3/🧵

In particularly proud of the story and very grateful to the people involved for giving me unparalleled access to their lives during a very vulnerable time. Please also take the time to check out the photos in the story. 2/🧵

This unique collaboration includes scientists from top institutions across the country, like @hsph.harvard.edu @utaustin.bsky.social @yalesph.bsky.social @ucirvine.bsky.social @ucdavisengineering.bsky.social @keckmedicineusc.bsky.social and many more. The next story will be out soon! End/🧵

I have it backed up and have seeded it! Someone pulled down everything they could crawl as of 1/28 (I believe it was not changed at that point!) I am happy to share it, either via the magnetic link, or another way if you would prefer. I also have it on a 4tb ssd for safety. Just Lmk!

Many thanks to @heathermcteertoney.bsky.social, @rosiealegado.bsky.social, @tallessyn.bsky.social Grenfell-Lee, and Sarah Ogletree for bringing this story to life! End/🧵

I know most of you are spending time with family, friends, and other loved ones this week, and hopefully taking a much deserved break from the news, but I’m just going to include the link below, in case anyone is in the mood for a bit of not-so-light reading. 4/🧵

I have *complicated* feelings about organized religion overall. But the interviews I did for this piece have been some of my favorite conversations this year.
It is a little sad (sorry, covering climate is pretty grim these days) but also hopeful in an unorthodox way. 3/🧵
