Important story about the consequences of trying to control our environment (which may be futile), and also the potential costs of letting nature takes its course, from our @AAASMassMedia fellow @alexmvsic. Someone should hire her before she's already snapped up.
Idaho poisoned Snake River for invasive mussels. Was it worth ‘heartbreaking’ loss?

In my latest feature for @SmithsonianMag, I reported on a new study that suggests people in Thailand could have been chewing the psychoactive betel nut as early as 4,000 years ago. My first story on an embargoed study for the @AAASMassMedia fellowship!

Scientists believe they have found the earliest biochemical evidence of people chewing the popular psychoactive plant

The FDA and NIH are moving away from animal testing, but do researchers think that's a good idea? @AAASMassMedia Fellow @marissarussoo and I spoke with 10+ researchers across academia and biotech to find out. Story via @statnews. https://t.co/bVGF6QO3MY

As the Trump administration reshapes biomedicine, it wants to change how scientists test drug safety: animal research.

Max Springer grew up reading @sciam, but he never expected to write for the prestigious publication. Read how this recent @math_umd grad cast a media spotlight on math, including writing about the mathematics of @LoveIsland and promoting #PiDay on TV: https://t.co/BCdv8QE2MY
