New blog post! The speed and accuracy of USGS ShakeAlert is always improving. Now #ShakeAlert is the world's first #EEW system to use geodetic data! PNSN created the GFAST algorithm to help ShakeAlert estimate the magnitudes of very big earthquakes. pnsn.org/blog/2024/06/0…🧵1/5

Congratulations to Hannah Furfaro of the The Seattle Times for winning the 2024 Sharon Begley Award for Science Reporting! Hannah will use the $20,000 grant to support a book on rare diseases. “It’s time to rethink what we know about what’s rare,” she says. casw.org/news/hannah-fu…



College bound? Denzil Suite, University of Washington VP of student life, has tips for first-year college students and their families.

Earthquakes know no borders! Today, Canada’s Natural Resources announced that the ShakeAlert earthquake early warning system is now live in British Columbia, ushering in a new era of early warning alert coverage across all of Cascadia. PNSN welcomes our partners to the north! (1/3)


Here's some of my favorite projects with The Seattle Times over the past year. Love working here! FYI we are looking to add another talented Graphic Artist to our team. Must be local (or willing to relocate) and experienced in #dataviz and #sciart: seattletimes.applytojob.com/apply/KwqfWXVa…
