  1. A former #NASA official says unidentified anomalous phenomena, or #UAP - the things better known as #UFOs - could be officially added to the space agency's research portfolio using the same strategy that he used to add the search for #technosignatures (including #SETI). This was one of the fascinating sessions at the #SciWri23 meeting in Colorado. universetoday.com/163581/nasa- #Space #Aliens

  2. Interesting that @MichaelEMann warns of "backfire effect" in combating #climatechange mis- and disinformation in his #sciwri23 talk.
    The literature on this has changed a lot in recent years and if the effect is real at all it is likely much smaller than thought. Important to communicate this.
    For those interested, this is a good recent paper on what may be the issue in research on the "backfire effect" and why scientists have struggled to replicate it

  3. How close are we to climate catastrophe? "We’ve got 4 billion years of Earth history. Let’s try to learn from it." #SciWri23 plenary speaker @MichaelEMann scientificamerican.com/article

  4. It's #Newstodon Friday!

    Our Editor-in-Chief @alexip718 is en route to Boulder, Colorado for #SciWri23. Come say hi, and ask him anything about our newsroom, the Uproot Project, or the MIT Graduate Program in Science Writing!

  5. The most common question I'm hearing before #SciWri23 is about what to wear. Folks vary, but people generally agree on business casual, and some are saying Boulder is perfect for mountain chic fashion. See packing/prep discussions on the conference app: whova.com/portal/webapp/scien_
