Caitlin was very communicative during this project. She did an exceptional job handling tough subject matter.
I broke a national exclusive for The New York Times when I discovered that Google was teaching meditation to its employees -- this in 2011, long before "wellness" was such a trend. It took me six months' negotiation to lock down the story and the Times flew me, a freelancer, from my home in NY to SF to report it.
This 5,000 word investigation of Canada's healthcare systems required three months' reading, reporting, research and interviews with 30 sources, focused on patients, experts, healthcare workers and policymakers at local, provincial and federal levels. As a Canadian living in the U.S., who understands both systems intimately, this story helped American readers and voters make sense of the promise of "medicare for all" and how it works, or doesn't.
For this story (one of many I wrote for them) I was asked to describe how scientists use their creativity when working to cure this deadly disease.
