A reminder to freelance journos / anyone who writes for websites other than one they own.

- TAKE CLIPPINGS of your work (e.g. save them as PDFs) as soon as its published.

- Use some sort of portfolio tool to store online copies, and download your archive on occasion (I use and recommend Authory).

Don't assume links will live and be easily accessible forever. They absolutely won't.

My latest for Forbes is all about low-emission zones and the benefits they provide to public (and specifically child) health #scicomm #scijourno #science #airquality https://www.forbes.com/sites/lauriewinkless/2024/09/27/want-healthy-city-dwellers-and-active-children-ban-polluting-cars/
Want Healthy City-Dwellers And Active Children? Ban Polluting Cars

Urban low-emissions zones which restrict, fine or ban polluting vehicles entering a specified area have benefits that go beyond improved air quality

In Early Science Journalism, These Women Were Writing for Their Lives

Starting in the 1920s female writers pioneered the field of science writing for the mass market, making it their mission to help ordinary people understand everything from astronomy to venereal disease

Feels like a good time to do a list of C&EN staff here. If you follow me for @chemistry content you should probably follow them as well.
