For @undarkmag, I wrote about the tenacious invasive plant, Arundo donax, and the manifold, blundering attempts to control its spread.

“Tangles of bureaucracy, ineffective coordination, underfunding, divisive science, two separate corruption scandals, and at least one ambush by semi-automatic gunfire have stymied attempts to address North America’s Arundo infestations, leading to a sort of forever war.”

🧵 In August 2023, as Chile marked 50 years since Pinochet's coup, President Boric launched the National Search Plan to find remains of over 1,000 disappeared Chileans using new technologies.

Now, as the Chilean state undertakes a new plan to find the missing, the ghosts of its past transgressions — both during and after Pinochet’s reign — have reawakened. My latest piece for @undarkmag.

In Chile, the brutal military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet left in its wake shattered families, mass graves, and tormenting uncertainty over the fate of more than 1,000 “disappeared” individuals.

As the state of journalism grows more dire, with unrelenting layoffs, mounting public opprobrium, and dwindling funding, it’s encouraging to know that organizations like this still offer support. I highly encourage you all to check out the other winners and their amazing work!

1/6 Scientists at UC Riverside may have uncovered the culprit behind an asthma-like disease affecting communities near California's Salton Sea. Some areas report childhood asthma rates four times higher than the national average.

The arrival of powerful new neurotechnologies could prove transformational for our species. For @undarkmag, I wrote about brain-computer interfaces, the nascent “neurorights” movement, and the race to reckon with this tech before it’s too late. https://t.co/03gGdsNJzx

The drying of California’s largest lake is grim, very grim. It’s only made slightly more bearable thanks to @FletcherReveley’s fantastic reporting on the outlook of the situation. https://t.co/APjaBuQffM

California's Salton Sea is in the midst of a worsening crisis. For @undarkmag, I wrote about how a multi-decade rift between science and policy in the region contributed to an ecological and public health disaster. Photos by @kitracahana https://t.co/KIRi1MeMr7
