Hi! I'm an investigative journalist addressing threats to democracy. My background as a technologist and as a student of history gives me a unique perspective on current events.

I write a newsletter about the bigger themes behind the news, do frequent public speaking, and host a podcast where I research and explore the history behind current events.

I also work with researchers from around the world to understand disinformation (paper) and other threats to democracy using network analysis and other methods.

To book speaking engagements, or for other general inquiries, please feel free to email me.
