Reporting from Senegal and The Gambia for @AP: “Most rare disease data has been collected from people of European ancestry, so we have very little knowledge about what’s happening in other parts of the world, mainly in Africa,” Rodriguez said. https://t.co/s6N030i0Jo

I was laid off @NPR as part of the massive cuts. I loved the i-team and wanted to stay for years, but here we are.

@Jaida_GreyEagle Community members gathered in a circle to offer prayers and songs led by Wakinyan, Thorne and Lemoine LaPointe (Sicangu Lakota) as the sun rose above the lake in Minneapolis.
I recently finished a fellowship at @MPRnews. I had a great year, telling stories across Minnesota and working on the @AngelaDavisMPR show. I'm available for writing, producing and editing assignments, so reach out and here's a thread looking back on some of my favorite projects:
One last look (way) back to my very first public radio story (from August 2021). It's about heat waves and preterm birth, with climate change research from @RRHDr and @MLukeSmith at @PublicHealthUMN. https://t.co/mUapaQZeOc
https://t.co/X72KoUw6DV I enjoyed talking with @VoyaWolfProject biologists about wolves and bears for this day story. It's from my stint on the wonderful digital team. I have to say thank you to everyone there, and to everyone who worked with me so well this past year.
Here’s a story about how the pandemic affected disabled students. I was very lucky to work with @efrostee on this one, and to meet with families so willing to share their stories of navigating access challenges at school.

https://t.co/tz3fGnW8vU @BrandtMPR edited this story and shared expertise in audio production, too. It covers sickle cell disease and @mnredcross efforts to recruit blood donors. @efrostee and I got to spend time with Ibrahim and his mom, both of them absolutely brilliant.
There are a lot of things I would like to see more coverage of—homelessness is one of them. I talked to Simpson Housing Services in Minneapolis about a vigil for mourning those who die, each year. https://t.co/h9ZPQzBsjk
Here’s another conversation with @AngelaDavisMPR about the complexities of international adoption with guest @kimcheedoc, a @umnmedschool pediatrician who specializes in adoption medicine.
