Goats and Soda is NPR’s global health blog–and don’t worry, I had no hand in picking the name. Nor did I have any hand in the timing of my assignment to the blog. Just as Ebola was beginning to ravage West Africa, I was coming aboard the Goats and Soda team. I reported on Ebola and other global health issues from DC and watched wistfully as other reporters set off for Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
Here’s a selection of my best work from that time.
