Bridget Kuehn’s Biography
Trained as both a biologist and a journalist, I love reporting on complex science. I've worked for the a small daily paper in the Southeast, a veterinary journal news section, and the news section of the Journal of the American Medical Association. I specialize in making sense of scientific and medical research and pulling together data from government, nonprofit, and scientific organizations. I've written about everything from Ebola to the ongoing opioid abuse epidemic. I won a prestigious award for my reporting on addiction. I also have expertise in psychiatry, neuroscience, health policy, and infectious diseases.
