This is my last-ever story for The NYT Science desk. I could have headlined it "Where Has All the Food Noise Gone" for the @tedleo fans, but I went with the Don McLean

What a whirlwind weekend in Seattle, launching The Story of Birds! 🦅🪶🦖

Early in my 11 years with @NYTScience I was entrusted with the Trilobites franchise. When @heathertal started it, the idea was simple -- keep it short; keep it visual; keep it fascinating. The last Trilobite I assigned and edited has published and it's a fun one...

Congratulations to an incredible editor and a fantastic human being! Easily one of the best in the biz. The cosmos is so fortunate to have been under your watchful eyes at NYT for more than a decade, Michael! 🌌🚀☄️🪐🔭 And congrats to the Express desk for a smart hire!

After 11 years as an editor on Health & Science, I have joined the Express team as its deputy editor. Thrilled to make the move and join @MHoppertNYT's terrific team

I had been planning to announce "some personal news" to the world in January or February and then NASA decided to launch Artemis II in April. And tbqh, that's fair, good call NASA. But here goes...

I am honored to have our #cassowary #biofluorescence study highlighted in the @NatGeoAnimals story that came out today! Thank you to writer, @toochoicetaylor and @NatGeo for having interest in our research! @NYITCOMResearch @NYITCOMAR @diceCT @TetZoo nationalgeographic.com/animals/articl…

@janai Wishing you the best of luck with whatever comes next! You're fantastic!

With gratitude & love. More in time ✨

one of those rare times when the colourless, pettifogging house style of NYT headlines really elevates the subject matter into something special

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

We’ve come a long way

The family of the Black pilot for Artemis II I shall stan 🔥🔥🔥

hearing all the stars while the black panther credits were rolling for the first time was a top 5 theater experience

Jesse Jackson, the civil-rights activist and political leader, has died at 84. He was the first Black man to wage a nationwide presidential campaign. on.wsj.com/4ci3mKL

Being laid off from The Washington Post doesn’t erase the work or the responsibility to keep telling stories in a moment when they matter more than ever. I’ve built my career by showing up, digging in and putting people first. Reach me: ms.amber.ferguson@gmail.com

*SO MANY* young, multiskilled reporters were just freed up by the WaPo layoffs. If you’re hiring for a role - text, video, or social - and want help connecting with the right candidate, feel free to DM me.

BAD BUNNY. THAT IS ALL.

I’m affected by layoffs at The Washington Post today. There aren’t enough words to describe the immense privilege and profound responsibility I’ve felt since hired at 25 as an editor. As a Black woman covering politics (a dwindling cohort), today that feeling is magnified.

Yesterday, we said goodbye to Tatiana. Heartbreak doesn’t begin to capture the sadness we feel. Our hearts are with Caroline and Ed and George and Josie and Eddie and Rose and Jack. She had so much more living to do. She was so smart and so funny, just like her mom. She was so thoughtful and so brilliant, just like her dad. She had faith in the sacredness of nature and in its maker too. She was willing to take on the great work of our time—telling the truth without fear. There is no sense to be found in this suffering. Only indescribable sadness and all of our faith. Her husband George asked us all to be part of keeping her alive by being playful and doing crossword puzzles (in under 5 minutes), being the best friend in the world, listening with kindness, speaking with truth, laughing hysterically, and so much more. We promise to carry her with us into this new year and for the years to come. And we invite you to join us in living each day with gratitude, love, a sense of humor, and action. We love you Tatiana.
