Media

I enjoy working with the media to disseminate findings and tell the stories of how research intersects with policies and with people's lives.  My research has been covered by excellent reporters in multiple media outlets, including feature stories by the New York Times, Washington Post, National Public Radio, Wall Street Journal, US News & World Report, and the Huffington Post. These media stories, commentaries, and podcasts have generated dialogue, interest and policy action at local, state, and national levels.
