Peace out, @politico! ✌🏻 This has been the most *exciting time* I’ve had as a journalist with some of the best colleagues. But thanks to @SchmidtFutures and @pulitzercenter I’m leaving to embark on some big ocean reporting projects that just can’t wait. More soon. 🌊

I wrote this story. 🙈 The best part were all the off the record replies that didn’t make it in the story but were basically “our experts have no clue what he’s talking about. It’s not clear how a rabbit could even possibly get caught in a solar project.”
