Does the news reflect what we die from?
The image presents a comparison of the leading causes of death in the United States for 2023 and the media coverage these causes receive from three news outlets: The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Fox News. In the footer, it notes the data sources, indicating that the information is based on media mentions from Media Cloud (2025) and death data from the US CDC (2025) and the Global Terrorism Index, with a clarification that values are normalized to sum to 100%.

🗓️ September wrap-up.
The academic year kicked off to a good start! I had a chance to present GenDiP Consortium's latest work, listen to inspiring talks, and connect with brilliant researchers at #IGES2025, #GeneForum2025, and von Baer Seminar. Now, back to the office to dive into new projects! 👩‍💻
