Oakland North

From field station to newsroom, the transition to life as a health/environment reporter at Oakland North has been a fast and furious one for Megan. After graduating with a major in biology from Carleton College she worked in a variety of research positions, from donning waders and working with stream sediments to tracking the movements of Hawskbill turtles in Costa Rican waters. After discovering that her love for science was exceeded only by a passion for reading and writing about it she moved back to Minnesota and interned with the Freshwater Society and Minnesota Public Radio, working as the production assistant for Morning Edition. She hopes to advance her storytelling skills at UC-Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism, and take advantage of revolutions in new media to inspire and engage a new generation of potential science-ophiles.

  Israel, thank you for your comment. We have changed the error we made in attributing testimony to you regarding Randy Davis being punched in the face and have noted this in the article. Information regarding the victim's appearance was corroborated by other witnesses, and attribution given appropriately. We have not changed information regarding the vigil, because while it is accurate that it had been planned in advance, there was a meeting held at 6pm Thursday to discuss whether or not the vigil should still happen in light of events, and it was ultimately decided that the vigil would proceed, as a memorial and an anniversary celebration. We apologize for any misrepresentation of your testimony that occurred as a result of miscommunication between the multiple reporters on the ground Thursday night. #
