Zimbabwe's new HIV drug at risk as US funding retreats US funding cuts cloud the future of Zimbabwe's lenacapavir rollout, raising fears of drug resistance to HIV.

A twice-yearly HIV prevention injection is being rolled out in Zimbabwe, but funding uncertainty now threatens access.

Experts warn missed doses could expose patients to #HIV at sub-protective drug levels, raising the risk of resistance.

Group photo of the participants of the Live, Laugh, Shimmy workshop on using performance as a scicomm tool

Photo of the facilitators of the Live, Laugh, Shimmy workshop on using performance as a scicomm tool. The four facilitators are posing with colored boas. They are standing in front of a projection screen, showing the flyer for Chiasm Cabaret, a sexy science variety show.

#SciTalk2026 was, as usual, an amazing whirlwind of reconnecting with old and meeting new friends, talking about creative #SciComm, optimism for the future, and facilitating "Learn, Laugh, Shimmy" with some of my absolute favorite people.

Not to mention the SOLD OUT #ChiasmCabaret show!

A panelist of four sits in front of a projection screen in a conference room, with the moderator off to the right.

Last week, I had the honor to sit on a panel talking about Kickstarting a Scicomm career at ComSciCon-PNW 2026.

There were some hot takes, fruitful discussions, and amazing questions. I'm excited to see the next generation of science communicators take the spotlight and do amazing things!

Researchers tracked 9 great hammerhead sharks off Florida and the Bahamas. Here's what they discovered | Discover Wildlife Scientists wanted to learn more about how the largest hammerhead species on the planet may cope as the climate changes.

Hammerheads do the ‘thermal hustle’ which means they maintain peak hunting performance in temps outside their optimal thermal range.
Super cool. Critically endangered.

About "to" and "around" the Moon Technically correct is not, in fact, the best kind of correct in scicomm

Is Artemis II going "to the moon?"

Is Artemis II going "around the moon?"

Does it even matter? Is this not all just pedantic nonsense?

So hello hi I wrote a thing about the nerd drama du jour and actually I think it reveals something that really does matter about #scicomm 🧪🔭

We have lions. We have wolves.
So why don’t we have lion-sized dogs?

The weird part is… we used to.

A halo of dark matter surrounding our Galaxy – Sciworthy Researchers studied the motions of stars in the outer regions of the Milky Way Galaxy and found that the gravitational field of a long, tilted cloud of dark matter is pulling on them.

Researchers at University College London modeled stars in the outer regions of the Milky Way and found that a long, tilted dark-matter cloud surrounds the galaxy.

The Woman Who Rewrote French Opera With a Sword at Her Hip

She burned down a convent, defeated three duels at a single party, and earned two royal pardons before anyone thought to check the law. A composer eventually built an entirely new vocal category around her voice.

It's been an unusually stressful few months, to the point where I was questioning if I was qualified to be a mentor.

This feels very vulnerable to share! But also: many of us in STEM & #SciComm might be feeling rattled as our world and justice more broadly remains under attack, so here I go

We Have Big Cats. Why Not Big Dogs? It turns out size is not just about strength, but about how predators move, hunt, and survive over time

We have lions, tigers, and leopards.

We also have wolves.

So why don’t we have “lion-sized dogs”?
