Berkeley Human Rights Center, the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung Transatlantic Media Fellowship, The Overseas Press Club Foundation, and the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing. More recently, she has reported on ancient water from California's Mojave Desert and on fisheries conflicts from the shores of Southeast Alaska.
