These are awesome. Would love to see similar pics when rally was at its peak to measure crowd size. Estimated size: 2,000-5,000. Anyone catch that or have official numbers?

So heartening to see a few thousand scientists, grad students, healthcare workers, support staff, and members of the public #standupforscience at the Seattle rally. The message - Science is for everyone - rang loud and clear. And so many great signs…

The crowd is swelling as Seattle stands up for science. @govbobferguson.bsky.social just stopped by. Fired NOAA researcher, censored mathematician, and climate scientists are showing why science is for everyone! #standupforscience2025

This is a great list of books to calm the nerves and soothe the soul.
I was deeply disappointed by the lack of nature/science/climate/enviro on many major end-of-year book lists—so I decided to make my own!

Ok, for all the journalists out there who’ve seen Wicked the movie, what were the chillingly prescient moments that struck you? (I need to see it again - and take notes.)

Yes, this.
This place is too cozy, so let me be a little provocative:
In the last 5 years or so, the climate movement had the opportunity to pivot away from No No No (fighting/blocking things) to Yes Yes Yes (supporting abundance, more RE, more housing, more building).

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.

Whew! Glad we’re not losing @hakaimagazine.com. Can’t wait to see how this partnership evolves.
It's OFFICIAL. @hakaimagazine.com will continue; not in name, but in spirit.
In January 2025, senior staff from Hakai will be joining bioGraphic magazine www.biographic.com
That means more awesome narrative features and science-based news.
But, of course, WE NEED YOUR HELP

Why is the Arctic Ocean getting louder? Never thought of the ocean soundscape as another way to measure climate change. What a great event, @nswa.bsky.social and @jrmorber.bsky.social. Thanks, @townhallseattle.bsky.social. Such fascinating fish factoids. Read this book!

Highlight of the week: @lynnepeeps.bsky.social book launch at Town Hall Seattle. P.S. I feel vindicated for having low light levels in my house at night and a lot of natural light during the day - keeping my circadian rhythms in sync. Now, go buy The Inner Clock. Time’s a tickin’.

Whelp, we overwhelmed the bar for our NW Science Writers happy hour with @ferrisjabr.bsky.social and 25 members. So fascinating learning about how Emily Dickinson and Virginia Woolf influenced the lyrical writing of his new book, Becoming Earth: How Our Planet Came to Life.
