What does science have to say about getting a good night's sleep? Quite a lot, really. @lynnepeeps.bsky.social captures most of it nicely in this feature www.nature.com/articles/d41...?

Happy Birthday to THE INNER CLOCK! 🥳 It’s been an incredible first trip around the sun. Huge thanks to every scientist, reader, reviewer, podcaster and supporter who has helped me spread the word about living clock-wise. 🙏☀️⏰🌙

Today, I was laid off from Cascade PBS along with my entire team and most of the newsroom. I'll have more to say, but I have loved my time as news editor alongside some of the best journalists I have ever worked with. Every time a newsroom closes, stories go with it. The silence that follows is loud

The move, attributed to the loss of federal funding for public media, marks the layoffs of 17 staffers and the creation of three new positions.

One NIH source simply called this move "crazy." Another, paraphrased slightly: "What the actual fuck?"

Why are people having fewer children? According to one source: "A lot of men are undateable. Truly undateable.” 😆 @lynnepeeps.bsky.social offers a great in-depth look at falling fertility rates around the world, and how to adapt.

People are having fewer babies: Is it really the end of the world?

Steep population declines in most countries are expected to have negative impacts over the next several generations, but adaptation is possible.

We need (good) science journalism now more than ever. And you'll find me and other journalists saying just that in this smart piece.

Why newsrooms must rethink science journalism before the next crisis

Despite climate extremes, pandemics and a global AI revolution, science reporting remains underfunded and undervalued.

Thanks to the #sleeppeeps for coming to Seattle! (And for my “personalized” merch. 😄) Fun to connect with experts who generously guided me on my book journey and to meet more brilliant researchers. I left #SLEEP25 more excited than ever about sleep and circadian science, if that was possible…

We have to remember that the American public being misinformed and lacking knowledge of what’s happening right now is only their fault *to an extent*

Our entire media ecosystem has been purchased and controlled by billionaires and oligarchs.

A misinformed public is MANUFACTURED AND INTENTIONAL.
