Excited to announce that I’ve joined The Scientist team as an intern for this winter! My first story is already out; it’s a short but important read: the-scientist.com/news-opinion/t…

“Researchers, we always go back to work before everybody else because of the nature of our work; if this was not important, we wouldn’t be doing what we’re doing.” —Carmen Maldonado-Vlaar bit.ly/3RZdIlw

A fun story I wrote for for The Scientist! Baby pine trees can’t run from their beetle attackers, but they can fight; and new research finds the seedlings help each other out in the battle. the-scientist.com/news-opinion/p…

It’s been a fun few hours 😅 Read about the incredibly interesting people who won the chemistry The Nobel Prize this morning!

Tumors can be both solid and fluid at the same time; the optimal state for growing and metastasizing. “It’s a devilish thing,” says University of Leipzig physical oncologist Josef Käs. bit.ly/3yO7sWa

With my latest The Scientist story I can now say I’ve written about the second of my two favorite w animals (🐋 and 🐺), and revisited my AP bio Mendelian genetics roots 🎲. Read it here: the-scientist.com/news-opinion/b…

Unfortunately very true 😅

This internship offered me a window into my dream career and introduced me to the best people, including the incredible Shraddha Chakradhar. Could not recommend this program enough, and please reach out if you’re thinking of applying and have questions!

I've been quiet on here for a bit, but wanted to share the finished product of an incredible interview I had with Claudia a couple months ago. Her work is seriously cool and I'm very curious to see what she and her lab do next. the-scientist.com/magazine-issue…

I have fond memories of being a bleacher sibling at these games, more interested in the snacks and whatever book I’d brought than watching my brother play. Kori Suzuki is on Bluesky⁩ captured that world so beautifully in writing. hcn.org/articles/south…

It has been an amazing run at FiveThirtyEight but I was laid off today. I have deeply loved working on this team. My editors and coworkers past and present have been amazing and I have done so much work at this site that I am incredibly proud of. Anybody need a science writer?

I am so honored to share that my Berkeley Journalism audio thesis, which I’ve been working on for the last year, is on @nprcodeswitch. It’s about a missing chapter of Japanese American history and the stories lost when one narrative comes to define an entire identity. npr.org/2023/05/22/117…

I don’t post much on here anymore, but wanted to share a fascinating interview I had on Science Magazine pod. Love Dalén explains ancient DNA, and how it could unlock the secrets of our past. Thanks to Kevin McLean for helping me produce this segment! science.org/content/podcas…
