Attention visual journalists: I’m always open to pitches for @sciam.bsky.social’s Graphic Science column. The column tells concise stories on topics in science via graphics (dataviz, illustrated diagrams, comic-style explainers, etc). It appears in both print & online. DM me for a pitch guide.

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

I'm not very active here, but given the news: I'm one of the hundreds of reporters laid off from the Post. I worked as a graphics reporter, mostly covering the U.S economy and politics.

The Post was foolish enough to unleash a bevy of the world’s most talented multi-disciplinary journalists out there for their competition to scoop up. These are some of the most hard working and skilled people I know.

News: I was cut yesterday in a newsroom-wide layoff affecting 300+ staff at The Washington Post.
I spent the last decade leading and building the award-winning Graphics team. I'll miss them.
I'm now exploring senior graphics, cartography, or leadership roles. Intros welcome.

It's not, though. To do their best work, amazing reporters need not only stuff like health insurance, but also editors, fact-checkers, IT support, equipment, security and training in hostile environments, lawyers, brilliant colleagues of every stripe... losing that infrastructure is devastating.

Glad I got to be a guest of a friend that had worked in the White House and got to watch a so-so Magic show at the Kennedy Center before whatever this is occurs.

Some things you should know about Fulton County, Georgia
The county has already seen numerous claims about election fraud — all debunked. There's no reason to think that Kash Patel's FBI will find something new.

We’ve been reminding folks to shovel, and it’s caused a bit of a debate. A main reason we are pushing to do so early and often is that sleet is very heavy.
As of noon, D.C. had picked up 1.13 inches of liquid (melted snow/sleet) from this storm. That’s quite a lot in winter. (1/n?)
