Proud of my colleagues!!! These are some of the best int he business, and they deserve to be paid for their work, and to be allowed to work where they NEED to.
Science News is preparing to strike ✊
12 hours until the workers of the Science News Media Guild will conduct a 24-hour #strike. This comes after our members voted to reject the @society4science.bsky.social's latest contract proposal. Rally with us for a fair contract on 11/5, from 8 AM to 8 PM at 1776 Massachusetts Ave, NW.
It's been about 540 days since we started this process, and it's not over yet. Please help us get more visibility by signing our petition for a fair contract!
The members of the Science News Media Guild have been bargaining with @society4science.bsky.social to get a fair contract for over 500 days now - please help us move things forward by signing our petition (link below)!
It's true! 500 days of bargaining with @society4science.bsky.social and still no contract! Big thanks to @wbng.org for working hard to help us secure the fair deal our workers deserve! If you'd like to help, be sure to sign our petition below!

A year and a half and no contract; meanwhile, no cost-of-living raises in one of the most expensive regions of the country.
I love working for @sciencenews.bsky.social!
We just want @society4science.bsky.social to value our work as much as we value its mission to inform, educate and inspire.

John Cortinas: “I don’t have any exact numbers, but I would probably start by saying the entire population of the United States…"
Many don't know that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is in charge of everything from issuing daily weather forecasts to tracking hurricane development, managing our fisheries and coastal resources, and so much more.
