Just had my 2nd anniversary on @NPR's Short Wave, the little science podcast that could. I struggled in science & math when I was a kid. Had a hard time w/ equations & long words. Wild to think they let me on this show, but so glad. Turns out, science is for all of us after all.

*** Exciting professional news! *** I’m joining the crew over at @NPR on the @NPRScience Desk as a producer on a new (and forthcoming) daily science podcast!

This morning, @wamu885 management informed us they are laying off 15 vital people from our organization. These individuals are the lifeblood of our journalism. Our hearts are broken. We can’t believe we are losing our colleagues and friends.

I'm one of the luckies who has gotten to work w/ @thomasuylu. He's creative, smart, funny, thoughtful ... HIRE HIM RIGHT NOW! On top of all of that, he's created community at @NPR for those of us who are disabled. TLu, I can't adequately convey my gratitude: thank you a million.

I’m fumbling with words & don’t want @NPRShortWave’s losses to be true. @gabrielspitzer is incredibly talented, and I’ve been so touched by the compassion he’s shown me as his colleague. Hire him! Right now!
Gabriel Spitzer@gabrielspitzer

I’m afraid I am one of the casualties. Working w/the team @NPRShortWave for the past year has been a beautiful dream, and unfortunately now it’s time to wake up. Please do send me your job listings/freelance opportunities. And you should keep listening to the show; I sure will.

I was laid off @NPR as part of the massive cuts. I loved the i-team and wanted to stay for years, but here we are. Please let me know if you're looking for a multimedia, bilingual reporter w/ experience investigating environment, healthcare, tech, immigration & criminal justice.

The layoffs at NPR did affect Short Wave. Our team is incredibly bonded. We are processing what this means for our show and will have more updates soon. So, in the meantime, please read this note from my incredible co-host @aaronscottNPR.

Since getting hired to host @NPRShortWave w/ inimitable @emilykwong1234, I've felt like I'm living in a dream. Who gets to work w/an amazing team to interview brilliant scientists & chase curiosity every frickin' day?? But all dreams end. Half our team was laid off, incl myself.

@BrendanCrump3 has supported our Daily Habit pods, including helping @NPRShortWave & State of Ukraine manage leadership transitions, and supporting the complex @pchh planning calendar. He brought an entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, and grace to every project he touched.

(Posting with permission) NPR is losing amazing talent this week. Among them, 3 fantastic folks on my team: Taylor Ash @ekinslow @BrendanCrump3. As podcast coordinators they supported show runners with everything that needs to happen for podcasts to thrive. You should hire them!

For colleagues who have lost their jobs at @NPR and are looking for jobs, the Association for Independents in Radio (AIR) is here to support you. They are hosting an open space for those impacted by the layoffs. AIR is led by the incredible @KEISHAinc. I'm co-president of the board with @KimFoxWOSU.
AIR@AIRmedia

We're hosting a drop in zoom for those affected by layoffs and an uncertain job market from 3-5pm ET today. Let's be in community and support each other. RSVP so we can plan for you. All are welcome. airmedia.org/jobs/training/…

I'm too sad & overwhelmed to begin to capture the devastation in this thread, let alone to include everyone impacted. I can't keep up. But, colleagues, I'm here & I care. Please reach out if you need anything. Which I know is impossible to even know right now. Love & solidarity.

I was one of the people laid off from NPR during this brutal round of layoffs. I’m gutted and heartbroken that I won’t be able to continue working at @nprmusic on stories I love with people I admire so much. npr.org/2023/03/23/116…
