First up, this week's two Extinction Countdown articles for Scientific American. I'm really proud of these two. The first set the record straight on a story that most media outlets got wrong; the second is just a darn good story that embodies both the dangers that endangered species face but also the hope that they have for the future:
DNA Reveals the Last 20 Ethiopian Lions Are Genetically Distinct
Survey of Critically Endangered Pygmy Sloths Finds Just 79 Animals Remain
Next up, a big batch of stories for Mother Nature Network. The first two features were a lot of fun to pull together.
An athletic angel: Christian Jensen helps disabled people run marathons
Why are video games addictive?
Solar-powered plane can fly all day -- and all night
Is fracking making livestock sick?
A new holiday trend: Renting Christmas trees
And finally, here's that thing in which I am the focus. The PR-related organization Help a Reporter Out asked me to let them know my PR pet peeves and pointers when it comes to pitching. I also filled them in on my perceptions of the state of journalism today. Give it a read.
There's lots more coming up this week. Follow me on Twitter for links as they happen.
