Here we are. The last month of the longest year. We know it’s been hard. You've covered stories you never imagined. And rose to the challenge. We remain committed to supporting you, our science writing community. Will you consider us this #GivingTuesday?

It’s a bit strange to look back now on this March 2 tipsheet from @laurahelmuth, yet how critical was this wisdom? “The coronavirus epidemic will be one of the most urgent, complex, and quickly moving stories of the year.” theopennotebook.com/2020/03/02/tip…
This was the first of many stories about covering #COVID19 we published this year. In fact, we assembled a whole host of resources to support reporters - from veteran science journalists to general assignment reporters - in their work theopennotebook.com/covering-covid…
We talked to journalists around the world on the frontlines, from @janeqiuchina in China to @aberron in Spain, collecting their experiences and tips for others theopennotebook.com/2020/04/07/cov…
We even published some of our #COVID19 coverage in Spanish, in our ever-expanding #TONenEspañol collection, including this recent story from @myriam_vidalv #DiverseVoices theopennotebook.com/2020/11/24/man…
We now have 1️⃣8️⃣ stories in our #TONenEspañol collection, funded by donations from *you*. And this year, at least HALF of your contributions between now and the end of the year will be slated for #TONenEspañol translations theopennotebook.com/ton-en-espanol/
In fact, all of your donations will go twice as far thanks to these TON supporters who will match your generosity: @cragcrest, @SiriCarpenter, @jeanne_erdmann, @AnnFinkbeiner, @laurahelmuth, @RobertIrion, @KatherineKornei, @BLewenstein, @ivanoransky, @julierehmeyer …
@cragcrest @SiriCarpenter @jeanne_erdmann @AnnFinkbeiner @laurahelmuth @RobertIrion @KatherineKornei @BLewenstein @ivanoransky @julierehmeyer ➕ @alexwitze, @cpiller, @KendallSciWrite, @nadiamdrake, @janeqiuchina, @SharonDunwoody, Olga Kreimer, @dehrenstein, @ashleythesmart, @RobinLloyd99, @cagraber, @nicolatwilley, @helenfields, @LindaMarsa, and @Cat_Warren 💗
During this trying year, we also turned 10! We’ve published >450 articles full of science writing wisdom, and added many more stories to our ever-growing Pitch Database theopennotebook.com/pitch-database/
And, we published a book, The Craft of Science Writing, which @cragcrest called a “beautiful group project”. Many of you came out to celebrate with us @elliottbaybooks, in the before times, and TON co-founder @siricarpenter wore THE SHOES theopennotebook.com/the-craft-of-s… 
We also added 5️⃣ new #DiverseVoices stories, in partnership with @ScienceWriters Diversity Committee, with @ScienceSandbox support — including this popular piece from @jane_c_hu on using sensitivity readers theopennotebook.com/2020/01/21/gut…
We compiled a list of diversity style guides for journalists ... #DiverseVoices theopennotebook.com/diversity-styl…
… And a wealth of resources to help guide science writers in telling and reporting more inclusive stories #DiverseVoices theopennotebook.com/finding-divers…
This year, we were thrilled to work with our latest @BWFUND/TON early career fellows, @KatherineJWu and @shirafeder, mentored by @thekibosch and @cagraber, and we will soon announce our next class. theopennotebook.com/2019/12/19/mee…
@KatherineJWu @shirafeder @thekibosch @cagraber We improvised an online editor’s workshop after #COVID19 changed our in-person plans, and we’re now developing a series of *free* email mini-courses, with @elaberwarren, thanks to support from @kavlifoundation theopennotebook.com/2020/09/03/kav…
And now, more than ever, we're reminded just how much science intersects with our daily lives. It’s why we are creating a peer-mentoring program w/ support from @sci_project, connecting science journalists & non-specialist reporters to serve our audiences theopennotebook.com/2020/11/25/sci…
@sci_project In a year where sticking together while apart has been critical, help us continue serving our science writing community. High-quality science journalism has never mattered more. Please contribute to TON on this #GivingTuesday theopennotebook.com/2020/11/29/you…
