I wrote about a NJ town that is pioneering a radical strategy to adapt to rising seas. Also featuring: the West Antarctic ice sheet, nature as infrastructure, and the force of individuals and community amid the overwhelming complexity of climate change scientificamerican.com/artic…

We need your help for some crucial #LongCOVID research! If you live in the New York area, have FULLY recovered from COVID-19 infection and it has been AT LEAST 12 weeks since you were first sick, please email us at prcovid@mountsinai.org @PutrinoLab
RT highly appreciated 🙏🏼

Two years into the pandemic, experts reflect on what the virus has done to science and society— what we’ve learned, what can’t be undone and how to move forward.

The @IPCC_CH report on climate vulnerabilities, impacts, and adaptation efforts makes one thing very clear...We Can and Must Adapt to Climate Impacts Now. My @NRDC colleague @JMConstible explains more.

My latest feature story is part of a huge special issue of @SciAm that delves into 21 ways COVID changed the world. I'm totally grateful to @JenLSchwartz for her brilliant edits. Check out all of the fantastic reporting here: scientificamerican.com/repor…
Have you ever waited for PCR test results?
My new feature for @SciAm is all about how PCR is speeding up and getting cheaper. Scientists are using everything from left-handed DNA to solar power to long stretches of tape to radically improve PCR testing:

🧵I wrote about #longCOVID and chronic illness for @sciam's pandemic anniversary package: "It is time for medical researchers to investigate these long-contested illnesses with the full force of science’s power..." scientificamerican.com/artic…

COVID accelerated the development of cutting-edge PCR tests—and made the need for them urgent. scientificamerican.com/artic…

Two years into the pandemic, long COVID remains one of the biggest threats it poses. scientificamerican.com/artic…
COVID created a boom in diagnostics. Will testing become a part of our everyday lives? @rkhamsi wrote for @sciam about the rise of PCR technologies & the new urgency of surveillance for all kinds of infectious disease scientificamerican.com/artic…

When COVID-19 hit, relying on our immediate networks was not sufficient. The fallout from the pandemic is an urgent call to strengthen our aid systems. scientificamerican.com/artic…

Must-read new @SciAm article by @past_is_future, @STWorg & @StuartjdNeil drilling down on conspiratorial ideation over supposed Chinese lab leak origin to COVID-19 and the parallels with climate denial conspiracy theories.
🧵
Really fantastic piece from @stuartjdneil, @past_is_future, and @STWorg.
Yes, all reasonable origins hypotheses should be investigated. But amplifying baseless speculation hurts our ability to do exactly that.

Great piece by @past_is_future, @stuartjdneil, and @STWorg. Shows how powerful interdisciplinary collaboration can be: bit.ly/3JsUgJg
We made an entire issue of @sciam about how COVID has changed the world—and how it hasn't. Dozens of experts and writers reflected on our two pandemic years to help us see why there's no "going back" to 2019, and where we go from here scientificamerican.com/repor…

The pandemic didn’t bring us together, but it did show us what we need to change the most.

Last May, I was criticized & harassed for writing a piece warning that the tone of the lab-leak debate would hinder Covid origin investigations & damage collaboration required to curb this & future pandemics. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
