NEW FOR NPR: I attended the first college graduation in a women’s prison in the history of the state of Maryland. But why? Why had it taken so long to get to this point? Across the country, women face barriers to higher education, yes, also in prison. 1/2 https://t.co/WR956JGyMD

A bit awkward, but it's nice to see @JacobFenston & @tyronefoto be recognized by PMJA for their beautiful story on the growing gaps in the DC area's forests https://t.co/FP09IkVuIK

Forests are failing to regenerate, which could lead to "widespread forest loss" in the region in the coming decades.

Such an important story! Please check it out for @amanduhgomez’s excellent reporting and @tyronefoto’s beautiful photography.
Once a month, via a chartered bus, DC Chinatown's remaining Chinese residents leave the city for the suburbs to grocery shop. Why? There's no familiar, affordable food in their neighborhood. Photos via @tyronefoto
