@ok_ceilidh It was great working with you on this project, I learned so much from your fascinating reporting!

In the article I worked on, we broke down Missouri's complicated regulatory landscape on sludge and discussed community members' efforts to stop sludge use in their small towns, which have become increasingly divided over the situation. https://t.co/sZwLUsr5s8

[Teagan King @teaganking_]

This week, the final project I worked on at the Missourian was published. Our team explored the complicated web of using of industrial food waste and sewage sludge as fertilizer, why some farmers love it, and others are begging for the practice to end: https://t.co/n2g9qpICiD

Attended my first @sejorg conference this week! I met many talented journalists and learned about topics like the Delaware Water Gap’s uncertain status to writing about often “boring” plants/animals. Can’t wait to apply lessons from #SEJ2024 to my own work!

In a shocking turn of events, I (kind of) wrote about sports 😱 give it a read to learn about what it’s like for Missouri’s service industry workers during the Super Bowl and how they’re preparing for this weekend:
