Carl ZimmerToday some of my colleagues at the Times and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to the Trump administration's cuts this year. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied the life bees bring to forests. Gift link: https://nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Naomi JacobsIf anyone knows anyone who’s looking for two days of casual work in Manchester, supporting a disabled professional (that would be me), please drop me a line. It should be a day in June (probably 13th) and a day in July (probably 10th). Would suit a student or someone interested in research, but anyone capable would be great. The role will involve coming to venues with me, setting up a small amount of equipment, being a ‘runner’ (e.g. fetching coffees, talking to reception if minor things go wrong), taking notes, helping with basic tech, possibly helping other disabled people with similarly small tasks (when I can’t). The support worker will be paid well above minimum wage (I can discuss that with them), and I can do travel costs (up to a negotiable maximum) if they’re coming from outside Manchester. There’s a possibility of future casual work if/when Access to Work finally comes through. Thanks in advance if you know of anyone!

Dan GillmorOnly one journalist -- @molly0xfff -- did the serious reporting this year on the cryptocurrency industry's successful purchase of politicians who will deregulate the most corrupt crowd since the 2000s real-estate and banking crew stole countless billions from average folks and nearly killed the global economy.
They may succeed this time with the latter.

Chris HallbeckMy dog is infinitely optimistic that TODAY will be the day that I just inexplicably hand over my entire hamburger.
evacideI have said this before, but it's worth repeating: in times of crisis it is easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of outrages that call for your attention. Pick your issue. Pick the corner of the world that you are going to defend and fight for that. If you try to fight everything all the time, you will burn out real fast.
