Some professional news: I'm permanently joining NPR's Science Desk! (My last gig was temporary).

I'm covering global health, with a special focus on what comes next after the US withdrawal from foreign aid, as well as environmental determinants of health.

Reach out with tips!

Why doesn't the world have a pandemic treaty more than a year after WHO adopted it?

I went to Senegal earlier this year to find out.
