Interview
Have you ever used a typewriter?
Obvs
What's the funniest news-related #hashtag you've seen?
Ummm, can we talk about the C. elegans moment?
Who do you wish followed you?
Latif Nasser. His work is truly inspiring and I love how clear his delight is when he speaks about science.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
In my experience we're a largely friendly lot. Reach out to people and build connections.
What's the worst pitch you ever got?
This guy read my forensic genealogy piece, and he wanted me to look into who was throwing mini-bar bottles of semen on his daughter's lawn.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
Outside somewhere, eating.
