We aim for diversity in topics, authors, and continents and we love nominations!</p><p>The newest Snippet went up today.

Different Than<p>First, this phenomenon (microseismic blip every 26 seconds originating off the coast of West Africa) is super interesting. Second, the article is nicely written. </p><p>Third, which scientists, exactly, were "stunned?" Was it the one who discovered this in the 1960s? The ones who knew about it and published in the 1980s? The ones who published about it again in 2006? So many stunned scientists.</p><p>Remembering that reporters almost never write headlines.

Laurie Winkless<p>I registered with NZ's Public Lending Rights Scheme a few years ago. This gives authors a small payment based on the number of copies of their books held in libraries across NZ. In 2022 & 2023, I was below the minimum threshold. BUT, today, I received my first ever NZ PLR payment! So if you're here in Aotearoa and you requested that your local library get a copy of Sticky (or Science and the City), YOU helped to make that happen.

Ian Rose<p>Losing Hakai magazine, about to close permanently at the end of the year, was a huge blow to those of us who read and write about nature. They were a great place for wild stories. But today, we got the news that their senior staff will be joining bioGraphic, another top notch science and nature site. It's still one less market out there, but it will make a very good one potentially even better.</p><p>They're fundraising to bring along more staff:</p><p><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/SciComm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SciComm</span></a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/ScienceWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScienceWriting</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.biographic.com/hakai-magazine/?c_src=em-1-fri-sos&c_src2=hakai" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">biographic.com/hakai-magazine/</span><span class="invisible">?c_src=em-1-fri-sos&c_src2=hakai</span></a></p>
Laurie Winkless<p>A reminder to freelance journos / anyone who writes for websites other than one they own.</p><p>- TAKE CLIPPINGS of your work (e.g. save them as PDFs) as soon as its published.</p><p>- Use some sort of portfolio tool to store online copies, and download your archive on occasion (I use and recommend Authory).</p><p>Don't assume links will live and be easily accessible forever.

Ian Rose<p>In 2024, this is the fastest way for any publication to blow up a hard-earned reputation. Cosmos has put out some great science writing over the years, but as a writer, I can't see myself ever pitching them again. They used ChatGPT to write articles, didn't tell their own staff, and - shocker - it made things up that weren't true. Trust is everything, and eroding trust in science journalism hurts all of us. </p><p><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/SciComm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SciComm</span></a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/ScienceWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScienceWriting</span></a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/commentisfree/article/2024/aug/12/cosmos-magazines-ai-generated-articles-are-bad-for-trust-in-science" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/media/commenti</span><span class="invisible">sfree/article/2024/aug/12/cosmos-magazines-ai-generated-articles-are-bad-for-trust-in-science</span></a></p>
