Wow, thanks everyone for all these boosts and additional science writer handles. Give me a moment to figure out how to compile them in a Mastodon-accessible way. (I ran out of word count on the original post.) But for the moment, you can find more by scrolling through the responses.

Okay, part two: I took the various suggestions and additions that came through this thread and put them in a Google spreadsheet. I'm thrilled to see that the Mastodon community has such enthusiasm for #science #writing and #journalism. Again, here's how you find us. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-M7pJ8wbI_aFnbxcWn2xuiw9GOiHVge0RentAJqp54g/edit?usp=sharing I also added the link to my profile, so it's easy to find.

First, thank you for compiling. Second, a sincere question: are there any Black women journalists writing on science and nature? I didn't spot any and am wondering if they exist but just haven't migrated to the platform.

Show threadMadeline OstranderDec 21, 2022
@kjumbe Yes, absolutely, there are many Black women journalists on those topics. I'm thinking of the extraordinary Margot Lee Shetterly, Kendra Pierre-Louis, Lornet Turnbull, Halle Parker, Iris Crawford, a whole cadre of folks affiliated with the Uproot Project. https://uprootproject.org/members/ I don't know how many are here on Mastodon yet--I'm pretty new here myself. But I do hope we can create an inclusive intersectional community here.
