My April article for @forbes has a distinctly NZ flavour. It's about a new study that uses satellite radar imagery to measure land movement in NZ's coastal cities - the bad news is, in many places, it is sinking. I spoke to the lead author of the study https://www.forbes.com/sites/lauriewinkless/2025/04/16/new-zealands-major-cities-are-sinking/

I am new here, so I start with an #introduction.

I am a #sciencejournalist for the Swiss weekly #NZZaS. Until recently I was also president of the Swiss Association of Science Journalism (#SASJ).

I studied history and philosophy of science and later also biology.

As a journalist, I mainly cover biological topics such as #evolution or #infectiousdiseases, but I also write about the business of #scientificpublishing, the #historyofscience, and #interdisciplinary research approaches.

Righto, post-lunch procrastination means a good time for 👋 #introduction.

I'm a #freelance #sciencejournalist and author based near Sydney, Australia, on Darug and Gundungurra traditional lands.

Words in lotsa places but esp Nature, the Guardian, The Scientist, The Saturday Paper and WIRED.

Founding president of Science Journalists Association of Australia, which is probably the best thing I will achieve in my professional life.

Lifelong #science nerd, and #SFF zealot in print and on screen.

Eater and baker of desserts. Slightly ranty. Big hair. Short.
