.@_SusanCarroll was one of the best immigration reporters in the country & first to deeply investigate abuses of unaccompanied minors in federal detention, which led to changes. In this time of grief, we ask our colleagues to step up for her two boys: https://t.co/doTRZtOZZi

The death of the American pharmacy:

I wrote about Bartell's, the beloved Seattle drugstore that's slowly dying under Rite Aid, and the larger health care crisis across our nation's pharmacies, large and small. For @FortuneMagazine: https://t.co/A6y9F96KYy

[Maria Aspan @mariaaspan]

I wrote about Soho House, its crises of cool and $$, and the eternal question for so many businesses trying to grow at all costs: Is it really possible to produce the same high quality at higher volume? @FortuneMagazine:

For @FortuneMagazine , I wrote about the far-reaching, still unfolding impacts of the massive, crazily disruptive February cyberattack on Change Healthcare, a subsidiary (of a subsidiary (of a subsidiary)) of UnitedHealth Group: https://t.co/2WmcbuIdP7

America’s health system is still in crisis after its biggest cyberattack ever—but the ‘catastrophe’ is just a blip for the giant company that got hacked  https://t.co/O5rQzK4W0L @erikafry of @FortuneMagazine goes deep into the far reaching impact of the massive @UHC hack

This is the most important story I’ve written. I have previously reported on Elon Musk’s vision for The Boring Company. For this story, I spent months talking to the workers on the ground tasked with turning that vision into reality. https://t.co/jxZOY6T1wC

"As a pharmacist, that’s your worst fear. Corporate will survive if they kill somebody but is a pharmacist going to?”

This @catadunn story is so important and so bleak:

Here's the wild tale of how a UK lawyer became one of the world's most prolific and controversial activists.

Reporter @erikafry has truly delivered all you could want in a longform magazine story: thorny ethical questions, international intrigue, a high stakes arrest, and so many monkeys.

One man with 1000s of acres of pepper fields, but nobody to buy his peppers. Another with a massive pepper factory, and not enough peppers to keep it running. The sad story of broken friendship behind the sriracha shortage. Great read from @IndraniNY : https://t.co/E3kLHWqclB

[Phil Wahba @philwahba]

Brutal (but brilliant) new @FortuneMagazine cover, with echoes of another from 9 years ago. Great cover story by @jessicakmathews

Wildlife trafficking, animal rights, @IUCN & endangered species, @CITES & captive breeding, pharmaceutical research, @USFWS prosecutions, & the fate of 1,200 Cambodian #monkeys. Facinating insights into a complex issue by @erikafry for @FortuneMagazine https://t.co/D2xvtnk30m

[Alice Robb @alicelrobb]

long-tail macaques- which make up 95% of US lab monkeys- can floss their own teeth 😭 fascinating story by @erikafry

And grappled with my own complicated feelings about using monkeys in research when thrust into a medical drama myself: https://t.co/sHD8kKXUHS

And looked at the bitter dispute playing out on the pages of scientific journals and in the bureaucracy of international wildlife trade, as to whether scientific demand is endangering one of the world's primates : https://t.co/xdcEV37bCk

Did corporate America have courage in its "stakeholder capitalist" convictions in the first place? I wrote about Bud Light, Target, and this "unbelievably weird moment in American politics," for the new issue of @FortuneMagazine:
