Hartford, Connecticut
Joined April 2020
I used AI to analyze 8 hours of public hearing testimony for this story with @GinnyMonk and @latillman. After a lawmaker cited sexually explicit language in Monday's budget debate, I used an AI model to flag explicit quotes from a public hearing on the same topic in February
My first story with an editor's content warning came out of the Connecticut House of Representatives. Reporting w/ @latillman and @AngelaEichhorst: https://t.co/H64NohIXf4

Residents in New Haven are more likely to report having suicidal ideation, but experts say that might be due to a willingness to talk about it. "The science shows us that asking youth and adults about suicide is not directly harmful or suggestive. It’s OK to ask."
