I kept seeing people with migraine chat online about how a crispy cold Coca-Cola offers relief that their meds sometimes can't on their own...so I wrote about! Turns out there's some science behind this fizzy fix. For SELF self.com/story/can-drin…

There isn’t a microbe out there that doesn’t suck. But one sneaky virus can be particularly awful: Varicella zoster, which causes #shingles. This painful infection is not discussed often enough. So let's change that! self.com/story/what-to-…

Last story with SELF is live, & I’m glad it’s about a condition that deserves more attention. It was a dream to focus much of my time on disability + chronic illness. Idk what my future as a journo looks like, but I hope to do more of this work soon. self.com/story/what-is-…

I’m begging all PR professionals still spamming my inbox to please do their research before mindlessly hitting send. I’ve been laid off, and you’ll be able to see that if you visited any of my social media profiles. Thanks.

For NatGeo, I explored what dopamine does in our bodies. (Spoiler: It doesn’t actually make you feel good, it makes you *want* to feel good.) nationalgeographic.com/science/articl…

Women’s pain has been dismissed for decades. Until 1993, women were excluded from clinical trials, leading to flawed treatments. They’re often given sedatives instead of real pain relief. If we ignore their pain, we ignore their health🔗nationalgeographic.com/science/articl… National Geographic Katie Camero

No matter where I turn, someone is sick—and I mean, reallyyy sick. The flu is no joke this year, so I spoke to some experts to learn why for NBC News 💉 nbcnews.com/health/health-…

5 years later, experts still don't fully understand what causes long Covid, how to test for it, or how to treat it. “We’re building the boat while we’re at sea." My latest for NBC News nbcnews.com/health/health-…
