Hi folks, consider this my away message: I recently had a baby!
For the next few months, Iβll be on maternity leave from @vox.com
Iβll be back in late July and will be slowly ramping up our climate, biodiversity, health and science freelance projects after that time.
As more people fall for the draw of snow-covered landscapes and independent lines, climate change chips away at the very winters that make this lifestyle possible.

A baby bat getting a bubble bath might be the cutest thing weβve ever seen π₯Ήπ¦
Thatβs just a normal day at Tolga Bat Hospital, a treatment center for Australiaβs injured and orphaned flying foxes.

At Australia's bat hospital, volunteers bottle-feed flying foxes injured by heat waves, ticks, barbed wire. Itβs too cute (PHOTOS!) β and a reminder that protecting wildlife is inseparable from protecting the ecosystems *we all* depend on.
