I gave a TEDx talk on rebuilding public trust in science. I talked about how my view of science changed once I started doing #scicomm & what universities & media outlets can do together to rebuild trust. Video to come! 📸 @TEDxOshkosh image courtesy Weston Imaging Group

My first byline in @grist!!!
Good story by @madeline_heim @grist about the vast number of aging "agricultural dams" across the US and the failure risk they pose. And what can be done about it. (Remove them and turn to nature-based solutions.) grist.org/politics/the-fate-…

Looking forward to sharing info about voting, candidates, campaigns, conventions, referendum questions and more!

I love Devil's Lake. You love Devil's Lake. ~2.5 million people visit it every year!
I wrote about the toll that massive crowds are taking on the landscape and the staff, and people who are stepping up to help.jsonline.com/story/news/2024…

Fearing a catastrophic oil spill in the “Everglades of the North,” the Bad River tribe of Northern Wisconsin sued to have an aging pipeline removed, and won. But the pipeline remains and a proposed reroute would still pass through their watershed. insideclimatenews.org/news/2…
This summer, I had the opportunity to visit the Kakagon Sloughs on the Bad River Band's land. The opportunity to learn about the beauty of the area really moved me.

This gorgeous story by @caitlooby is well worth your time. Beautifully written, and critically important about the Kakagon Sloughs and the Ojibwe's fight to protect the region.

Congratulations to @Madeline_Heim/@JournalSentinel for winning second place in the feature reporting category for: “The Mississippi River is central to America's story. Why doesn't it get more love?” jsonline.com/story/news/2023…
It's a crazy news week w/ reporters doing incredible work documenting what's going on in Wisconsin.
If you have a minute to fill your sense of wonderment, here's a story about what I learned is hiding on the bottom of Lake Michigan. jsonline.com/story/news/2024…
