Two weeks ago, I had the chance to tell a story at a Moth-style event called Arctic Entries.
With the help of a couple of wonderful coaches, I found a way to compress months of fieldwork collecting mosquitoes in Borneo into a 7 min tale.

I know there's a lot going on in the world, but this seems like the Amazonian drought hasn't gotten adequate coverage anywhere. Anyone working on a story? My friend @HernaniFMO is a great source--ecologist in the region and has been working on documenting what's going on.

Goodness--remind me again why we farm an animal that readily serves as a conduit for zoonotic respiratory viruses? Who still wears mink coats??
Not an article I wanted to write.
The deadly H5N1 bird flu is spreading widely, including to mammals.
For the first time, it's now likely spreading mammal-to-mammal, among minks which are exceptionally well-suited conduits to humans.
We must act now.

The amount of land mass represented by House Democrats just went up by 104%. #AKAL
Superstars indeed! It was a delight getting to know Santino (giving sugar water to a groggy Eidolon dupreanum below) and Angelo and playing a small bit role for this paper. Way to go Ekipa Fanihy!

The Democratic Republic of Congo is putting 16 oil exploration blocks up for auction, including nine in the peatlands of the Cuvette Centrale, with the government explaining it needs to generate income to develop the country. Environmentalists warn that... bit.ly/3NHYY7V
I was on the Wapta Icefield last week and missed a pair of impressive, if deeply concerning papers about the future of forests in a warming world, both authored by my friend Bill Anderegg (not on Twitter?)
If there's a silver lining though, it's that all three risks are much milder in the more optimistic climate scenarios, the ones where we fully embrace climate solutions and healthier, more equitable planet as quickly as possible. Check out Regeneration.org for ideas!
