My neighbors in St. Louis built a little free greenhouse and it's a very special place 🌿

My uncle cred went thru the roof when @APMStudios @Brains_On decided to cover how things in space get named. Thanks to @mollyb @sandentotten @rosiedupont @ShahlaFarzan @annawegg & colleagues.

If you have or know kids, tell them to listen to this show!

To cap off a powerful week of reporting on unsolved homicides in St. Louis from @rlippmann & @tomscheck, today's story is one I'm especially proud of.

For years, these families have been left wondering who killed their loved ones. Read / listen here:

[Brian Munoz @brianmmunoz]

The @SLMPD has struggled to solve killings for years due to staffing shortages, shoddy detective work and a lack of community trust.

Here's the first installment of a ~4-year investigation in #STL by @stlpublicradio, @apmreports and the @marshallproj. 🧵

Superfund sites contain extreme pollution.

@ShahlaFarzan, flooding threatens these toxic waste dumps, and the challenge of securing them before the worst effects of climate change are felt.

Jeez, this is bad. New study finds that bottled water contains a lot more plastic particles than previously thought -- and most of them are "nanoplastics" so small they can cross the blood-brain barrier: https://t.co/S3FSjIJz2H via @corinnepurtill @susrust

We dropped big news today: We are joining forces with @MotherJones, merging to create a stronger and more resilient news organization. Learn more about it here. https://t.co/n4gjtb4h35

@KGrumke @stlpublicradio @HarvestPM Such great news, Kate! Congratulations 🥳

[Cornell Lab @CornellBirds]

Sobering news: The @USFWS declared 10 bird species extinct yesterday. With 1 in 8 birds in the world today threatened, and many more in decline, we must redouble our efforts to protect species and habitats to ensure they never become as imperiled. https://t.co/q18zfwb5ev

Monday night, lights out, cats in, bird tape up!

@Ziqian_Xia I once had a reviewer call one of my manuscripts "absolute garbage" and "total poppycock." Turns out he had a conflict of interest that meant he couldn't be impartial.

Grad school can be a real blow to your mental health. But don't give this one person too much power over you!

The link to order free covid tests is live again.

All it takes is 30 seconds to put in a name and address, so you can place orders for relatives/loved ones too https://t.co/6LdB1tfr2s

[Shahla Farzan @ShahlaFarzan]

Millions of #birds are flying south this month! So proud of my pals at @stlpublicradio for installing these special decals from @FeatherFriendly to prevent bird window strikes this migration season🐦

Wild stat from that report— there are now nearly 300 million electric motorcycles/scooters/2-3 wheelers on the road worldwide and they are displacing four times as much oil demand as all the electric cars in the world so far.

[NWS St. Louis @NWSStLouis]

Yes, today was about as bad is it gets in terms of heat index values. In fact, Columbia's max of 118F was the highest heat index recorded on record (dating back to 1945). The bad news? We have at least 4 more days of this heat. #stlwx #mowx #ilwx #midmowx

HISTORY MADE — Workers at @stlpublicradio have overwhelmingly voted to officially create the @stlprguild, #Missouri's first public radio union, under @CWAUnion. #WeMakeSTLPR #UnionYES

[Sammy Roth @Sammy_Roth]

I've been reporting on renewable energy for a decade. And no matter how much I write, there’s a question I get asked again & again:

Why do we need big solar & wind farms when we can put solar on rooftops & parking lots instead?

It's a great question. Let's do a thread... 🧵1/n

[Shahla Farzan @ShahlaFarzan]

Exciting day at @stlpublicradio 👏👏👏

[Brian Munoz @brianmmunoz]

Today kicks off the moment @stlpublicradio workers have been fighting to get for years — being able to cast our ballots to create #Missouri’s first public media union.

We can’t wait to show the world that we’re stronger together than apart. #WeMakeSTLPR #UnionYES

[Shahla Farzan @ShahlaFarzan]

@ctaylsaurus @newscientist @timothyrevell yay congratulations! Excited to listen 🥳
