Lately I've been thinking a lot about science, scicomm, and the crazy world we live in.
And yeah. Now I'm completely reworking my newsletter.
Because I feel like us science folks — scientists, scicommers, journalists, everyone who believes in science and truth as a force for good — need to talk.

it was a privilege to contribute to this package. check out my story on how scientists digitally sculpted the planet to predict the future, and how those in power today are dismantling the quest to model the climate

Alec is a great guy and a great journalist. He recently went for a backpacking trip on a glacier in Norway and is now missing. Please help spread the word in case someone knows something that can help searchers.
