I am not the hiring manager for this, but happy to chat in general terms about the team and the role. I can't overstate how brilliant this newsroom is — one of the best in the world and also supportive and humane.

That’s a fantastic illo haha — made me laugh
Please watch Channel 4's docudrama 'Dirty Business' on the pollution of our waters. There could not be a more shocking exposé of the human and environmental cost of privatisation, deregulation, corporate corruption and government complicity:

Below is the response to my question. The funny part of his response is that my research needed a control arm. My study actually did have a control arm (about 80% of the sample never reported discrimination).
So the answer itself makes me even more confused.
➡️ It's on! Paid internship for aspiring science journalists at Nature's London office. Up to three days a week working from home. All the details are here: springernature.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Spring...

Infuriating that BBC iPlayer spoils the ending of every single Olympic highlight on catchup 🤬
Sorry I misunderstood. Still struggling TBH. The phrase ‘my neighbour’s wife’s milk’ as analogous to ‘another animal’s milk’ threw me off.
This is a weird take IMO. ‘My neighbour’s wife’ is a weird way of talking about women. And women aren’t equivalent to animals. I don’t eat meat and I respect the sentience of animals but this ain’t it

Same! By brother and I would take turns reading out the instructions , but we didn’t know the names of all the punctuation… semicolon was ‘comma with a dot on top’
As a Canuck looking for the big picture I highly rate The Buzz from @nationalnewswatch.com, written with great authenticity by the legendary Peter Mansbridge. It has a measured and thoughtful tone that is so welcome www.nationalnewswatch.com/newsletter?u...
All the awards are getting won by @londoncentric.media and @jim.londoncentric.media & team, and rightly so. Local journalism of the type this city is parched for. Please someone give them all the £££
As a newsletter writer/obsessive I realised that I write very rarely about newsletters other than my own! Thought I’d start a thread of the best of the best. This isn’t about strategy or tech but about quality of content. These are the ones I never delete, myself (so do reflect my own interests!) ☺️
Illustration of the Dutch Reach. You should reach across with your non-door-side hand to open a car door, because it forces you to look behind you.
Last night, I got properly "doored" for the first time. A car in the road to my right paused, and the rear left passenger threw open his door without looking, right into my path. I ended up on the floor, badly winded but ok.
If you don't know what the "Dutch reach" is, NOW is the time to learn.
The limestone object, about 21 centimetres wide and shown here with stone counters, caught archaeoludologist Walter Crist’s eye in the Het Romeins Museum in Heerlen. To crack its rules, Crist and his colleagues applied an AI-powered game system that contains the mechanics of thousands of games, past and present, from around the globe.

Flora Graham, Senior Editor of the Nature Briefing, delves into the value of trust in science during an unprecedented era of misinformation.
This year the one word on my mind is ‘trust’. I’m seeing how hard-earned trust in accurate information is being eaten away by algorithms that incentivize getting a reaction over truth or the public interest. Misinformation researcher Renée DiResta calls this the “fantasy–industrial complex”, calling out to those who farm falsehoods for likes online. Their approach, as DiResta puts it, is “if you make it trend, you make it true”.1
Delighted to contribute to this year's look-ahead in the Oxford Medical School Gazette — a wonderful opportunity to crystallize some of my thoughts about trust, especially when it comes to the particular responsibilty of medics and journalists. oxfordmedicalschoolgazette.org/year-ahead/
😱 but isn’t the theme of the holiday ‘romance’? (I mean I totally understand how these things happen cause Easter is big and it’s not exactly all about bunnies and eggs 😆)
Quite liked this bit from Giovanni Malago’s Olympic opening speech: “Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire”. Shout out Gustav Mahler 🔥
For Valentine’s Day!? Ah luckily we don’t have that tradition in the UK! That sounds … horrific TBH 🙈
Genuinely curious, as a parent myself: why is this advice for parents? Just cause we’re so busy and need love? 🥰
Is anyone ever really ‘ready’ for kids tho 😂
I'm so sorry to hear that! Well I hear and honour Gladys Mae West's name EVERY DAY at Nature headquarters because an important part of our building is named after her. And I don't know that jerk's name, and hopefully never will. Her legacy lives on strong ❤️
This is a cool idea but why is most of the north cut off? Seems a big flaw to me
Never felt more proud of being an Ecosia user 🥔🥔🥔 www.ft.com/content/1554...
Well done for the non-judgy tone of the article but. What the hell people. Do not drug your children nightly to make them sleep. This is nightmare shit
I've got you, legendary Nature editor John Maddox 👉 www.nature.com/briefing/sig...
