Great piece by @ByKateMorgan in @washingtonpost on learning to love pigeons again. I'm quoted! : “Because of climate change & urbanization, we’re in this moment where animals have to adapt to living w/ people. Pigeons are on the leading edge of that.” https://t.co/5hAZN7cyCE

@seywarddarby I’m just saying it sounds like your baby is ~ fully baked so maybe it’s ok if you are a tiny bit?

But fr when my baby was way late my doula suggested I have a glass (or more) of wine to relax and maybe have a baby. Good moms have a little wine sometimes!

If I haven’t yet convinced you to read my ⁦@nytimes⁩ story on placental grafts, allow me to read it to you instead: https://t.co/avTKjg9FtN

@amandakhurley Thanks for liking/sharing it!

@MeghnaWBUR Omg such high praise (big fan of @OnPointRadio). Thanks Meghna!

A propane explosion left Marcella Townsend's face unrecognizable. Then doctors turned to a surprising tool to repair it: human placenta. She still has scars elsewhere on her body, but the 47-year-old’s face, she said, "looks exactly like it did before." https://t.co/BDAm2wShnQ

[Kate Morgan @ByKateMorgan]

Many thanks to @maxwellstrachan for having faith in this weird and wonderful bit of good news. May it reach hearts & minds (& placentas!)

[Kate Morgan @ByKateMorgan]

I’ve been thinking a lot about placentas lately, and not just cause I grew two in three years. Doctors are using placental tissue to perform - I’m gonna say it - medical miracles, and I wrote about it for @nytimes.

My latest love note to Appalachia is at @voxdotcom today.

[Paige Vega @PaigeBlank]

Appalachia's natural resiliency puts it alongside the Amazon rainforest as one of the most globally important landscapes for tackling climate change. As #COP28 wraps, we looked to the region for solutions.

What we found will surprise you.

My newest story is a long love letter to hickories, hicans, pawpaws and plums, and the nuts who believe America's future depends on her trees. #longreads #SundayLR @SciHistoryOrg

@LouiseRidley Hey Louise, any chance you’re still in town? I couldn’t make it during the week but I’m attending today and would love to meet you! (Better late than never?)

[Kate Morgan @ByKateMorgan]

@TulikaBose_ @sciam would really love to pitch you about the slow disappearance of the world’s largest amphibian and the charismatic Appalachians working to save these 2-foot-long salamanders.

Buuuut “X” won’t let me DM you.

@JasonNark It's all dammed. (I mean, except the Delaware). Dams built America! Don't worry though, the reckoning's upon us: https://t.co/Kjd7wL6ZUR

@ajzaleski @elliepses Never! A gorgeous and important effort from two great talents!

[Kate Morgan @ByKateMorgan]

As usual, @ajzaleski’s work is insightful and nuanced and somehow timely and timeless. 👏

Making my @nytimes debut with brilliant fellow freelancer @elliepses with a feature we co-reported and co-wrote on America's loneliness epidemic, and what to do about it. It's the cover of this weekend's Sunday section, and online today. https://t.co/oD934t5u1I
