I must applaud Kristin Romey for not only writing an outstanding account for National Geographic but also for making sure it has a "Goonies" reference. Brava. #GenX #ngstaff nationalgeographic.com/history/articl…

On Friday, we said goodbye to my beloved Felix. He was my steadfast companion for the past 20 years, and he always lived up to the meaning of his name. My life is brighter because he was in it. Descanse en paz, mi corazón. 💔

Well folks, it's my last day on staff National Geographic. It's been an amazing and humbling experience leading one of the finest teams in science journalism. I'm taking October off, but if anyone needs a science editor, I'll likely be in the freelance market before year's end. Hit me up!

A legendary editor, a compassionate leader, a ground-breaking journalist. Rachael is truly all that and more. x.com/Rachael_Bale/s…
