After nearly 3 years as the Senior Science Editor @inversedotcom I was laid off today, along with my entire science team. Ran 12 miles in Central Park to recalibrate. I don’t know what’s next but for now, consider hiring my stellar squad! @elanaspivack @salazar_elin @KionaSmith07

BREAKING: The standard location technology that submersibles come equipped with was not included on OceanGate’s Titan. It is unclear why.

@mollyglick was my intern at Popular Science, and I hired them at Inverse, too. They are brimming with ideas and just getting started. You should follow them and start by reading this awesome story.

@TaraYarla expertly covered climate change, among other things (not the easiest beat), and wrote this beautifully reported story on The Clean Water Act and its short-comings

The legacy of the landmark legislation is under threat in many ways. There's still a long way to go to ensure safe water for all Americans.

@jenngwalter is one of the most versatile science writers I know. She can cover just about anything, including this deep dive into the secret world of meteorite hunting

Every year, meteorite falls happen across the globe. Finding them is an arduous and sometimes dangerous task, but these citizen scientists enjoy the challenge.

A few members of my beloved science and health team at @inversedotcom were laid off today. And while I can't change the state of things, what I can do is brag about the amazing work they did — and why you should absolutely hire them.

Very cool story from @salazar_elin!
Ahead of the Artemis I moon mission, a spaceflight veteran reached out to NASCAR professionals to understand how astronauts could be kept safe upon reentry and landing in a spacecraft. https://t.co/9kSyakhMgq

It's Sleep Week at Inverse where we dive into what science currently knows about sleep and how we can hack our own slumber. 💤😴 FIRST: Can you teach yourself to become a morning person? Experts explain how our circadian rhythms are absolutely trainable. https://t.co/kR7EIaEXCb

Our circadian rhythm is the underlying mechanism that dictates when we start to feel sleepy at night and awake in the morning. And it's absolutely trainable.

Millions of Americans can now safely turn on the tap every day, and that’s all thanks to the Clean Water Act which turns 50 years old today. But on its 50th anniversary, the legacy of this landmark legislation is under threat in many ways.

Really great story and reporting by @TaraYarla Please take the time to read it today!
50 years ago, a little fire on an Ohio river changed everything for America's waterways. I wrote about the legacy of the Clean Water Act — the good, the bad, the ugly — for @inversedotcom

Sometimes you just have to cut to the elephant in the room. Loved working with @TaraYarla and @camaldarelli on this one. If you read one story today, make it this.
Can we halt the next pandemic before it even begins? Scientists worldwide are racing to find out – and some are even taking risky paths to tackle the problem.

Collagen has been sold as the key to “more youthful looking skin” by the beauty industry despite already being an all-important protein that naturally occurs in the body. But does science back up the industry's claims? Inverse asked experts to weigh in.
