It’s baffling to watch the epidemic in the United States spin wildly out of control, knowing it could easily be different. We know that it could, because we’re living it." https://www.stephanienolen.com/work/invasion-of-the-ticks monthly 0.5 2021-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6054cb785514b74eb3f36bf4/1616548073514-0KLHSDBPTN0VBJUWPY4F/image-asset.jpeg Work - Invasion of the Ticks - For The Walrus: Invasion of the Ticks “Ixodes scapularis is “extremely catholic with its taste for blood.” It will feed on both migrating birds and big mammals that cover wide ranges — helping it expand its territory — and it’s also delighted to encounter a human and her dog. In tick-borne disease literature, the blacklegged tick is almost universally described as ‘aggressive.’ “The knowledge that this tick is proliferating in the most densely populated areas of North America, potentially spreading not just Lyme disease but anaplasmosis and babesiosis, an infection that resembles malaria, is disturbing in ways that it feels as though we have not yet grasped.” Photo by Eamon Mac Mahon, Guelph, 2019. https://www.stephanienolen.com/work/5-rules-for-journalism monthly 0.5 2021-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6054cb785514b74eb3f36bf4/1616872640434-ENXFX6JJRK2WZWTY8H6G/SL.jpg Work - 5 Rules of Journalism - Five Rules of Journalism The 2010 Dalton Camp Lecture, broadcast on CBC Ideas.

Published in 11 countries and 7 languages. John le Carré called the book “magnificent, inspiring, informative.” Bono said, “The stories will tear you apart before putting you back together.” https://www.stephanienolen.com/work/gone monthly 0.5 2021-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6054cb785514b74eb3f36bf4/1616868909699-VMJZYX9UJJINSGG9QGYL/Grave_storyImage_square_final.jpg Work - Gone: Mexico's Crisis of Disappearances - The story of Mexico's Disappearance crisis, told through an investigation of Latin America's largest mass grave "Most of the people found in Colinas de Santa Fe are still nameless. But the stories of nine of the victims expose the web of crime, power and impunity that allows disappearances to continue unabated. And forces their families to risk everything to find them." This project has won honours including two 2021 Digital Publishing Awards (for digital design, and innovation in digital storytelling); the 2021 National Newspaper Award for presentation; and the 2021 Amnesty International Media Award for mixed media.

Their survival depends on our physiological behaviours (breathe, sneeze, bleed) and also our emotional needs. I want to say to my friend, over coffee, I trust you, I am not afraid of you. I want to believe for a minute that life is normal.

Stephanie Nolen travelled 2,000 kilometres along the dusty, dangerous corridor, and found a range of realistic — and often counterintuitive — ways that the forest could work for everyone.
