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

Really powerful (and terrifying) story out this morning by @caitlooby on why this hurricane season matters even for states as far north as Wisconsin: https://t.co/mEam8WbaTq

[Hope Karnopp @hopekarnopp]

The rumors are true: Ask me and @jessieopie anything on Reddit, *9/26 at noon! (It’s September now, not August).

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

And here is a friendly reminder that doing a wetlands story during peak mosquito season in the Northwoods is not a good idea.

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.https://t.co/rUqpQ400Er

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. https://t.co/D4JdQDMRRX

Give these stories a read if you have the opportunity. @journalsentinel, @Report4America

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.

[Caitlin Looby, PhD @caitlooby]

I also wrote a story about Enbridge's Line 5 reroute project: https://t.co/kR1noQYHsH

It's definitely a dream to report on a beat that makes me say "what the hell" at least once per week. My latest for @journalsentinel / @Report4America https://t.co/XfloAFXFbB

[Caitlin Looby, PhD @caitlooby]

@natalie_eilbert Thank you!! 🥨

[Natalie Eilbert @natalie_eilbert]

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.

@BrunoMcGee4 That’s a very interesting question…

[Caitlin Looby, PhD @caitlooby]

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. https://t.co/c4bQCrvJsQ
