When the fires raged through LA, air toxins popped off the charts. But the AQI was often in the "good zone." That's because traditional air quality monitoring systems don't catch everything -- but some newer tech can. I wrote about it, for @sciam: https://t.co/s5CARkjnjJ

In places around L.A. spared by fire but coated in ash, people have been left wondering what they’re breathing in and how to deal with it, @kategammon reports: https://t.co/ojqmtVGQi1

Hi everyone, for a story I'm looking to speak with people whose fire insurance was not renewed and then suffered damage or loss to their homes. If this is you, please reach out!

My latest piece, on why UCSD is requiring students to take a course in climate change. It's all about preparing them for the future they will live in.

After natural disasters, I feel compelled to remind people to donate money, not stuff. I wrote this back in 2012 (!) but it still rings true: https://t.co/4fc4le1gjb

My story from a couple of years ago. Microplastics reach so many unexpected places in the body.

Nautilus Magazine @NautilusMag

Mmm, microplastics. You're probably eating the equivalent of a credit card in plastic every week. We're still waiting to learn the health ramifications. https://t.co/FCvMfvaWYf

Always fun to talk to a great friend about a great book.

What does wildfire smoke do to your body? The more researchers look, the more damage they find. Turns out, smoke from wildfire is much more dangerous than regular ol' air pollution. My latest: https://t.co/m0Br7qNd23

This is such a loss for storytelling around our coastal environments. I have so enjoyed working with all the folks at @hakaimagazine over the years...

Krista Langlois @cestmoiLanglois

Well, it's official: @hakaimagazine is ceasing publication at the end of the year because our funding is being cut. I'm incredibly sad for my colleagues, for the freelance community, for the journalism ecosystem as a whole, and for myself. Editing for Hakai has been a dream.
