She explored such stories (and many others) as a founding member of the Code Switch team, a project of NPR that investigates identity and culture. Chow has also written about grief for The Cut and Lenny.

Babies in hospital nurseries all have one thing in common: crying. As a casual observer you may ask yourself: Is it because of the old man in funny glasses tapping at the viewing window? Or is it the nurse who came in and stirred awake little Sammy and that act of disturbance played repeat upon the others? The closest answer is likely the latter. All of us are born with mirror neurons, the basis for empathy. When one baby cries, another will cry.
