Just wrapped up another year teaching data viz to undergraduates and grad students at Brown! Threading a few favorites, but all 25 final narratives are worth a look. data1500.github.io/spring-2026/

Rhode Island folks! If you're interested in the intersection of data, journalism, and art, come listen to me moderate a talk with @suryamattu.com at RISD on Thursday, March 5, at 6:30pm.

After nearly eight years at The Washington Post, I’m on to something new. This week I started as the Senior Data Editor on the recently formed Data Services team at Yahoo News. Excited to help build something from the ground up!

One of my favorite stories I've gotten to edit recently: Can YOU spot which of these actors are wearing wigs? Come for the quiz, stay for the in-depth interviews and diagrams! www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...
