@theopennotebook.bsky.social is a tiny nonprofit trying to make it possible for any journalist on any beat to access the tools they need to cover climate change, global health, technology, and other important issues.

Can you join us as a monthly donor? Even $5/month would be amazing. 🙏

1/ in medias res drop in to scene of story’s subject with narrative description of an event (jack was halfway up the hill when he realized Jill was behind him. He’d been climbing his whole life and his tall, lanky body used inly muscle memory to reach the top)

Once you know the formula for narrative non-fiction it’s hard to enjoy reading it tbh because it’s often just watching a story check off bullet points in a specific order.

If you work in #SciComm , please take our survey and share it!

Our goal is to hear from as many perspectives among working professional science communicators as possible. Help us spread the word, and please let us know if you have any questions!

Science and environment journalist friends: I have a spot for you on an upcoming shark research expedition! Want to come, see some shark research, and learn about the important work the lab is doing? Let's chat. DMs open.

This is tomorrow! The slides are fresh and the zoom link is ready. jaimegreen.net/classes
