One thing that keeps me up at night right now is the possibility that Twitter’s potential death spiral will coincide with a major regional/national/global crisis. For better or worse, Twitter is a crucial disaster comms tool, and we don’t have a replacement for it. 1/

TIL that as the CO river dries up, AZ is leasing its largest underground aquifer to the Saudis, who are growing water-intensive alfalfa, which is then shipped back to S.A. to feed cattle. Market rate for the lease is $5 million/yr. Saudis pay $86K.

This is the introductory essay that I wrote for the Best American Science & Nature Writing Anthology, which I edited this year. (Out Oct 12)

It’s about what it means to be a science writer, and how the pandemic changed the way I think about the field.

2020 will be the deadliest year in U.S. history, with deaths expected to top 3 million for the first time - due mainly to the coronavirus pandemic. The expected 15% jump would mark the largest leap since 1918. https://t.co/Xgw6QAZE8C

More than a third of Americans live where hospitals are running critically short of intensive care beds.

Our analysis of federal data shows a detailed picture of the U.S. hospital crisis, showing occupancy rates last week — the pandemic's deadliest week. https://t.co/NHhWxVIVCP
