I enjoyed spending time in Seattle last week at @geronsociety's & the Journalists Network on Generations' #GSA2024 conference as a Journalists in Aging Fellow. It was a whirlwind of symposia, paper sessions, & good coffee. Thanks to @GenBeatOnline, Liz Seegert, and the funders.
Meet the 14 new participants in the Journalists in Aging Fellows Program, now welcoming its 15th class! geron.org/News-Events/GSA-Ne… @lseegert @johnahartford @commonwealthfnd @NIHCMfoundation @GenBeatOnline

A group targeted women who were considering abortion, promising them financial support if they stayed pregnant. Some women were left with a child, and little else. The group says they'll pay $10,000 to these women following this investigation (where I served as fact-checker).

Thrilled that my two poems, "On Lying" and "Red Water", are featured in the latest issue of @OSUtheJOURNAL.
Welcome to the world our special themed issue 46.4: Collapse: Rebuild🌱 This is work that excavates, salvages, and reverberates; that explores the aftermath of neglect and inaction, the repercussions of fallout; work that emerges from smog. thejournalmag.org/

This excellent @nytimes investigation spotlights many of the same issues @ICIJorg & its global partners raised in the award-winning 2018 #ImplantFiles probe: that the medical device industry unnecessarily puts millions of patients at risk of serious harm in its quest for profit.

“Living in Ohio my whole life, in the heart of the heart,” @maggiesmithpoet writes, “is like living inside a repetitive poem — a pantoum, a villanelle, a ghazal. There are always words and lines repeating, carrying forward, insisting on themselves.” nyti.ms/3nyfjor
