I am an investigative journalist based in Washington DC. My recent book, “The Bill Gates Problem: Reckoning with the Myth of the Good Billionaire,” received an "Editor's Choice" designation from the New York Times while The Telegraph called it "an extraordinary and detailed work of investigative journalism into an underexplored nexus of influence in global affairs." The journal “Nature,” meanwhile, described the book as an “excellent exposé of hyper-billionaire ‘myths’ could yet help to catalyse political murmurations towards…more collective ends.”

Beyond my work on the Gates Foundation, I've published investigations into the interface of private interests and public policy (here and here), the failures of journalism to scrutinize structures of power (here and here and here), and undisclosed conflicts of interest in science, including at the National Academies of Sciences (here and here).
