I’m Ginny, a deputy investigations editor and occasional writer at the New York Times. I also teach at NYU’s school of journalism.
Before joining the NYT in 2020, I was the deputy editor-in-chief at BuzzFeed News and its founding science editor. And before that, I was a freelance reporter specializing in genetics and neuroscience.
