My final and favorite story is here.
What a summer!
Flattered that Jason Bruck, the scientist who did the research, tweeted my story!
Another Chicago Tribune story. Brought to you as a link to a tweet from my talented editor for ease of reading.
(Chicago Tribune Story 2. Including it as a link to a tweet because that should make it paywall-free.)
The story, which is sometimes behind a paywall.
The video of me talking about the story from a segment of Chicago Tribune Live.
What a fun day this was!
EDIT 8:54 pm: Apparently if you tweet a story, it’s not longer behind a paywall (according to my awesome mentor Julie Deardorff). Thank you for the tweet and the tip, Julie!
