Data reporter for local initiatives at the Center for Public Integrity. Past work: St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Bradenton Herald, Craig Daily Press. University of Illinois alum, longtime IRE member. I am passionate about my work and hope it helps someone. I love burning candles, dancing, bullet journaling and my cat Phoebe. I also like lifting weights and riding my bike.

2022 was a pretty crazy year for me -- the dark days of false accusations finally ended, followed by unexpected honors and awards. 🗓️

With the New Year rapidly approaching, I want to share five Post-Dispatch projects I did in 2022 that I'm particularly proud of. 📰

5b/ I worked with @jayohday to build on our earlier efforts by adding victim profiles, more granular details about incidents, and context about trends over time.

@tony do we think he has set up some bot accounts? Or these are real people?

@taylorlorenz being a Minneapolis resident, it's been important to track flights to understand the tools being used to suppress social movements. This is public information for a reason! A true free speech absolutist would understand this, a wannabe authoritarian dictator would not.

Rosalind Franklin’s research was crucial to discovering DNA’s double helix structure 🧬 but it was James Watson & Francis Crick who received the credit & Nobel Prize.

Unknown to Franklin, the pair saw her unpublished data & X-ray diffraction images, inspiring their model. They never acknowledged her contribution until after her death.

How many discoveries & innovations of #women do we attribute to the men who took credit for their ideas?

Sexism pushed Rosalind Franklin toward the scientific sidelines during her short life, but her work still shines on her 100th birthday

Franklin was born a century ago, and her X-ray crystallography work crucially contributed to determining the structure of DNA.

Fun fact: Ryan Mac, the NYT tech reporter who Elon suspended tonight is also the reporter who broke the news that Peter Thiel was secretly financing lawsuits (including Hulk Hogan's sex tape lawsuit) in order to destroy Gawker.
