Monarch butterflies can travel thousands of miles each year using the sun and Earth's magnetic field to navigate. @danfagin.bsky.social speaks on how tiny Bluetooth trackers are giving us a new glimpse into these epic journeys. www.loe.org/shows/segmen...
Hey, it’s the mako shark specimen at the American Museum of Natural History that inspired you-know-what! No it wasn’t a great white, it was a mako caught in New Zealand in 1939.
Hi @lizneeley.bsky.social, can you send me an email address and/or phone where I can reach you? Thanks! Dan dan.fagin@nyu.edu

Do this, people! It's a great award!
I am an exasperating spouse for similar reasons.
For the first time, scientists are tracking the migration of monarch butterflies across much of North America, actively monitoring individual insects on journeys. It could provide crucial insights into the life cycles of hundreds of flying insects at a time when many are in steep decline.

I'm just wondering what job Eric Adams is going to get in the Cuomo administration.
Love the video. Love SEJ. Support the bylaws changes (with some reservations). But I wish the official SEJ twitter feed had not been used to urge a yes vote, especially in such a non-substantive way. A better message would have been: 1) here's where to educate yourself on the proposal, 2) vote!
Big day in the NY Times for NYU SHERP. Congratulations William Herkewitz (SHERP 31) and @alexaroblesgil.bsky.social (SHERP 42)! www.nytimes.com/2025/06/29/o... www.nytimes.com/2025/06/21/s...
It's incredible how much GOP messaging has been this argument for the last ten years...
"Advice" from someone who has insisted on surrounding himself with yes men (and women) his ENTIRE LIFE. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05...
Bravissimo!
Went to a science journalism talk from @danfagin.bsky.social, who shared this mind-blowing idea: people are not irrational for ignoring scientific evidence, they're being TOO rational. They recognize that the social cost of going against their "tribe" is just not worth what they gain from the truth.
I signed. Beilock's stance is both wrong and witless. If your policy of "institutional restraint" doesn't exempt the greatest threat to higher education in memory, then your policy is actually institutional silence. And if you give in to the bully once, then he'll take your lunch money every day.
Universal message.
#Cornell friends, looking forward to seeing you April 24! Thanks for spreading the word! events.cornell.edu/event/univer...

A tragedy
"Come on, there is no best moment of watching a vicious kakistocracy be installed in the chamber its followers once desecrated in a coup attempt." @michellegoldberg.bsky.social for the win.

"With malice toward none with charity for all with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right let us strive on to finish the work we are in to bind up the nation's wounds."
"We are going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America."
@robinsonmeyer.bsky.social Hi Rob, I don't think we've met, which is surprising, but I've admired your work for years and would like to put you in front of my EJ grad students this spring. Since I don't have your email, can you email me at dan.fagin@nyu.edu so I can explain? Thanks!
If this is a dream, don't wake me.
I was deeply disappointed by the lack of nature/science/climate/enviro on many major end-of-year book lists—so I decided to make my own!
