Do the health care journalists know where I am?

The former president has clearly never been to the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. Shoutout National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.

I had way too much fun talking about my beat on Readout Loud this week, in a segment called "why a STAT reporter buys weed (for journalism)" statnews.com/2024/06/13/rea…

I'm sure this won't create any controversy at all... statnews.com/2024/06/17/vap…

Update from the DE statehouse: Lawmakers have spent literal hours doing tributes, but this place is every political reporting nerd's dream. A person emerged from the Senate chamber screaming fuck (tough vote?), there's real lobbying off the floor & the press room looks like this.

Come for the Wu Tang Clan jokes, utter puns, and moo noises, stay to learn why the Small Wonder is embracing raw milk (and for some striking comments from Delaware's Sec of Agriculture.) statnews.com/2024/07/03/del…

I was intrigued when I learned there were private-equity-backed for-profit companies selling "medically tailored meals," what I found well...it surprised me...statnews.com/2024/07/11/med…

First time RT'ing Elmo but feels appropriate given Sarah Owermohle's story today! statnews.com/2024/07/11/ses…

I recently wrote in STAT about how for-profit psychiatric hospital chains—esp the two biggest ones, Acadia Healthcare & UHS—are stealthily opening dozens of new hospitals under nonprofits’ names. shorturl.at/jvpzc Here's the back story: 🧵 1/10

Seconded!!

If you're at #IFTFirst watching the talk right now on Ultraprocessed food. You should probably read my story from today! statnews.com/2024/07/15/fda…

It is 8:30 in the morning and FDA food guru Jim Jones is somehow being welcomed with a second line…in Chicago? Is this what food conferences are like? (They marched through the room before this…)

I believe I was the only national reporter in the room today when FDA’s Jim Jones got very candid about some very controversial FDA topics. Worth your time, I promise statnews.com/2024/07/16/app…

Well this is a first…eagerly preordered Taffy Brodesser-Akner’s new book on Amazon. It looks like I got a blank bootleg copy in the mail? What in the actual hell.

You'll need a STAT subscription to read this. But there's no question Bob Herman and his co-authors are worth it.

I had a lot of fun with this, but I also think it’s pretty enlightening about food makers’ strategy / response to concern about ultra processed food. Hope you’ll read it. statnews.com/2024/07/31/ult…

It’s official! Very excited to be starting a new role at The Atlantic later this month. And I can’t thank my STAT colleagues enough for the past six years.

Today is my six year anniversary at STAT, and while it's also my last week here, I still feel super lucky (and I'm still putting out stories!) Today is a profile of Kevin Hall, and stay tuned for one more feature before time is up! statnews.com/2024/09/11/ult…
