Affirmations like these remind me that I'm in the right field. xitter.cf/joseph_marks_/status/8…
Another big win 4 @ravindranize! Linked in an article that describes itself as "boring," "dull" and "deeply unsexy." fivethirtyeight.com/features…
Part 2 of my @AHCJ fellowship project on emerging preventive health tech. This one's on privacy risks, & new and unexpected ways consumer health tests could impact insurance, employment and more. Read it in STAT: statnews.com/2026/01/30/dire…
Excited to share Part 1 of my @AHCJ fellowship project on emerging preventive health tech. Up first: Doctors are still figuring out how to field a deluge of direct-to-consumer health tests cropping up in medical visits. Check it out in STAT: statnews.com/2026/01/09/pati…

Today @thesicktimes: Two companies recently debuted AI tools for people with Long COVID. Some people find them helpful for managing symptoms and following research; others are concerned about the technology.

Source request: Have you taken any kind of test (blood work, scan) to predict future dementia risk? If you’re willing to talk about it, reach me at [email protected]. (Note: I’m looking for patients/consumers, not for anyone promoting or tied to a company.) Thanks!
It's been great filling in at NYT Well for the past 5 months! Now that Dana Smith is back from leave, I'm moving on to a preventive health tech series via @AHCJ's U.S. fellowship. I’ll be publishing at various outlets through the year. Find me at [email protected]!
A request for stories: I'm searching for families who have received a difficult dementia diagnosis, and who'd be willing to speak with me about navigating it. If this is you, please reach me at [email protected].
Professional news: I’m joining The New York Times to report on longevity, aging and brain health for the next several months. I’m thrilled to be on the Well team, whose reporting I’ve admired for so long. Reach me at [email protected] with news tips and ideas!

And just like that… I faced my first media layoff.
Yesterday was my last day as Reproductive Justice reporter at @reckonnews. It’s been a TIME to say the least. Not sure what’s next for me but open to job leads & freelance pitches. annabelrochamedia @ gmail[dot]com

Criticism of maternal mortality data in the US makes sense: it's a mess; it's always been a mess. But there's real crisis that sits at the intersection of a whole set of systemic injustices and social shortcomings. My last story for @statnews: statnews.com/2024/12/20/mate…
Nalis is one of the sharpest, most creative and original reporters I’ve ever met. And such a thoughtful and collaborative colleague. I was so lucky to work with her. Hire her!
In a less-than-ideal turn of events, I was affected by the layoffs @statnews upon returning from maternity leave. I have loved my time at STAT and am heartbroken, but here: able and willing to work, open to all opportunities. Find me at [email protected]!

Tough news: I’m impacted by layoffs at @STATNews. It’s an incredibly difficult time for journalism, but health reporting is so crucial & I encourage you to support STAT & other outlets when you can. On to the next thing — find me at [email protected] with ideas!

Folks, now is a good time to follow @GovExec and stellar journalist @EricM_Katz as Trump begins his historic attempt to dismantle federal government organizations and workforces. There are laws and rules that govern the government. They know.
Trump vows to restructure federal agencies and slash bureaucracy with a new initiative led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. buff.ly/3UR7LdV

Remember Forward? The buzzy, glossy healthcare startup that envisioned concierge medicine and AI-enabled doctor’s offices.
It is shutting down and laying off its entire 200 person staff. Scoop by @srimuppidi in @theinformation:

With Trump winning the presidency, I wrote about how Trump and RFK Jr. could "go wild" on FDA. Here's what experts are anticipating: statnews.com/2024/11/06/trum…

.@TedKennedyJR does not believe his cousin Robert ought to be given a sweeping mandate to oversee the country's health agencies. In a conversation with @statnews' @owermohle, he minced no words. statnews.com/2024/11/01/ted-…

New: It took three ER visits and 20 hours before a hospital admitted Nevaeh Crain, 18, as her condition worsened. Doctors insisted on two ultrasounds to confirm “fetal demise.” She's one of at least two Texas women who died under the state's abortion ban. propub.li/40rAXvw
