This story is one I am incredibly proud of. I delved into how an ignorance of the “usual suspects” in Making a Murderer says quite a bit about the media and police culture in the United States. I got to speak with domestic violence expert Nancy Lemon and delved into questions of nonfiction and storytelling.
My first article for Vice’s Broadly site, on the 43rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade looked at other cases that have influenced abortion rights in the US.
Plastics aren’t the only thing that fish are eating; now they are consuming fibers (from our clothes washing machines) too. I wrote about a new study on the subject on what’s in fish stomachs—and what that may mean for human beings’ health—in my latest article for Mental Floss.

I did an interview with Kari Elwell-Katzander, NYC’s premier urban gardener (and green-wall expert) for New York magazine’s Summer Design issue:
