Hi Dani! I'm a science writer based in Maryland, writing about environmental issues facing the Chesapeake Bay and many other topics. Would love to be part of the feed. Here's something I wrote about the state of oyster restoration in the Chesapeake: news.maryland.gov/dnr/2024/03/...

This is one of the barred owls that lives in Wyman Park in Baltimore—love these guys #addBirder

Where do some of the birds you see in your backyards or near your home go in the winter?

For Maryland birds, it can be pretty interesting, including this specific common tern that came all the way from Buenos Aires. Birds travel far—I wrote about some of them here

Thank you Rachael!!

Hi Dani! I'm a science writer with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and I'd love to be added. This is a recent piece I wrote about technological solutions to harmful algal blooms news.maryland.gov/dnr/2024/11/...

Harmful algal blooms are becoming a bigger concern with climate change, but new tech — including a buoy that disrupts the algae life cycle with sound waves — offers new solutions 🧪 news.maryland.gov/dnr/2024/11/...
