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

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.

Feeling stressed? You are far from alone. And scientists are working hard to help. I'm happy to share my latest for @nature.com, with stellar editing from Beth Quill, on how better stress assessment and tailored interventions could fend off lasting damage. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

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…
Still smiling about my close encounters with manta rays, sea turtles, dolphins, and lots of pretty fishies! A welcome escape to Kona last week. 🐬🏝️🌋🍹🍍🐠
So special to have an event at my hometown bookstore. Thank you, @brick-mortar.bsky.social, and to everyone who made it out! Wonderful to see many teachers, neighbors, and friends — some who I haven’t seen in decades! 🥰

Missing Tucson already! Thank you, Tucson Festival of Books, for a wonderfully nerdy weekend. Back in dreary Seattle, but still feeling energized by the doses of inner clock-calibrating sunshine and conversations with fellow writers!

DeeeeLIGHTful to attend a session on “life’s rhythms” at this year’s #TucsonFestivalOfBooks. Shoutout to @lynnepeeps.bsky.social for mentioning dark skies, light justice, and school start times.
Happy to be in Arizona for the Tucson Festival of Books! I’ll be speaking about “Life’s rhythms” tomorrow, and “The future of science literacy” on Sunday. Can’t wait to hear from @ferrisjabr.bsky.social and many more fellow authors!

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.
