Tufts competes in the 2021 Boston Marathon
  • Since I was an undergrad at Tufts, I've photographed the Boston Marathon from the perspective of the Tufts Marathon Team, coached by the irreplaceable Don Megerle. Originally as a student journalist, and then for Tufts as a client, this year's marathon, delayed due the pandemic, happening in October, brought back a familiarity. And besides seeing the pictures on @tuftsuniversity — delightfully — the Tufts student newspaper, the Tufts Daily, at which I was the photo editor as an undergrad, published a photo of mine as well.

Crimped U.S. dry ice supply complicates rural U.S. vaccine release
  • "NEW YORK/LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - As health officials from rural areas prepare to vaccinate people scattered over thousands of miles in what could be the most complex such campaign in U.S. history, they face the additional challenge of finding enough dry ice to keep a Pfizer vaccine that must be stored at sub Arctic temperatures from spoiling." In early December I traveled to Beloit, WI for Reuters to cover a dry ice manufacturer there ramping up production for the COVID-19 Pfizer vaccine.

  • Frozen harvest leaves bitter taste for U.S. sugar beet farmers
    client:
    Reuters
    summary:
    It turns out Minnesota is the nation's top sugar beet producer - the sugar beet being a primary source for domestically produced raw sugar. The summer of 2019 was a wet one, followed by a freeze that left huge amounts of the state's sugar beet crop frozen in the ground. I pitched this story after hearing about it on MPR to look into how the farmers are faring.
