I've started a new role at the Washington Post!! I'll be working as a computational journalist, helping out with big data challenges and contributing data reporting to the national desk. Many thanks to Meghan and the whole Post data team for the warm welcome

A year after @thetrace.org and I co-published our investigation into the resale of used police guns, departments across the country are stopping the practice or reconsidering their policies www.cbsnews.com/news/law-enforcemen…

More law enforcement agencies stop reselling guns to prevent use in crimes - CBS News

The shift comes after an investigation by The Trace, CBS News, and Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting linked former police guns to crimes.
