I'm looking forward to visiting research labs in Manchester in a few weeks. All science journalists/writers welcome, but if you'd like to join please make sure to sign up this week (so that we order the right amount of pub food for afterwards!) #scicomm www.absw.org.uk/events/insti...

I've spent the past 12 days in 4 countries across two separate trips with only enough time in between to throw some things out of the suitcase and add others. Very glad to be home and do all my normal things again. I say I don't like routines, but I apparently also don't like complete chaos.

Fancy a no-strings-attached research trip? Step into the labs with us. A day of conversation and inspiration awaits you! Science writer and ABSW board member @evaamsen.com has worked closely with @manchester.ac.uk to create this field trip for our members. Book your space now: zurl.co/MWgt0

Any science journalists able to get themselves to Manchester on November 13? We're visiting research groups at the University of Manchester and have planned an evening social in a pub. Please sign up if you plan to come and tell your science journalist friends! :)

I’ve been posting from @efsj-scijourno.bsky.social about the #ECSJ2026 conference. Follow that to keep up with the meeting, and for much more sparse EFSJ updates after the meeting ends. #sciencewriting #scicomm #journalism

Types of impact for investigative journalism stories @tbij.bsky.social #ECSJ2026

Investigative journalism is exposing matters that are concealed, either deliberately or because they’re hidden behind a lot of confusing details. Chrissie Giles at #ECSJ2026

Did you know: If you’re a science journalist and a member of @absw.bsky.social @vwn.bsky.social @ajspi.bsky.social @wpk.bsky.social @aecomcientifica.bsky.social or of SWIM (IT), SASJ (CH) or DanVid (DK) then you’re automatically also a member of EFSJ!

New Mixture! (Sorry for the delay!) I summarize what happened with the Small World in Motion competition. #scicomm #sciart mixture.substack.com/p/microscopy...

I'm organising this institute visit for science writers in the UK. Come with @absw.bsky.social to the University of Manchester on November 13! www.absw.org.uk/events/insti...

The EFSJ is now on Bluesky, *just* in time for the conference that starts in two days!

I did so bad at this because I can’t remember anyone’s name. The one with the wavy hair! And the one with the glasses! And the one whose biography is on my desk right now!

We were hoping we’d have to update the main portion of this quiz — but this year’s awardees were all men. Nonetheless, come test your knowledge: how many of the women who have won a science Nobel prize can you name? www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

BREAKING NEWS The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel “for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics.”

I'm tidying up some old folders on my drive and I found a 2017 document called "manifesto". It has just two short sentences, taking up only a single line of text: "Don’t talk endlessly about why it’s important to do the thing. Just do the thing." I wish I'd actually take my own advice sometimes.

My London borough is one of the ones that’s now covered by Dolly Parton’s imagination library. I didn’t know it was part of a much bigger expansion until I saw this article!

I cannot even begin to imagine what it's like to have an "uncluttered mind". My mind is filled to the brim with clutter! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Was Darwin a nepo baby?, I wondered while wandering through his large house and in his expansive gardens earlier this week. Maybe kinda, I decided here: mixture.substack.com/p/was-darwin...

This is cool! I get lucid dreams but my control is limited. I can wake myself up if I don’t like the dream, though, which is helpful.

This includes the UK! (Thanks to Horizon association, I think)
