🎉Honored to win the 2021 Victor Cohn Prize for Excellence in Medical Science Reporting!
I couldn't hope for better reviews: “She is holding a massive mirror up to our society as a whole.” Another wrote her stories are “nuanced & will haunt me for years.”casw.org/casw/announcem…

I'm so lucky to write about issues I care about deeply. This award highlights my work over 5 years, most recently my feature on how 40+ years of rising inequality fueled America's pandemic -- and how scientists feel about it. nature.com/immersive/d415…
My portfolio includes this feature on the WHO's fight against Ebola in Congo, which is also about how much it takes to combat infectious diseases against a backdrop of political opportunism, poverty and long-standing exploitation. nature.com/articles/d4158…
Another is my feature on the race to stop drug-resistant malaria from spreading in Cambodia & Myanmar, and how this requires political will even more than scientific prowess. nature.com/immersive/d415…
The judges call me intrepid, but truth be told, finding the right structure for a story makes me pick at my hair follicles and quiver in my slippers. I owe a massive thanks to all my editors @Nature & especially @bmaher who doubles as a writing therapist.
Thanks to the judges of the Victor Cohn Prize. There was a ton of incredible writing this past year, and I'm sure the decision was tough. I'm honored to share the award with powerhouse @HelenBranswell. 🙌🏽 Check out her excellent piece @statnews: statnews.com/2020/04/20/the…
