I'm looking to interview you all. Yes, again.

I'm currently working on two pieces centered on bird flu - one is a 'problem' piece taking a look at mismanagement of the virus and unethical culling practices, and the other is a solutions-oriented piece looking at gene editing, testing, vaccinations, and alternative fowl (did you know pigeons are resistant to bird flu?). I need interviewees who are able to respond to interview questions via email within 24-72 hours. I'm definitely willing to interview folks outside of these parameters, but what I'm mostly looking for in interview subjects is:

Scientists/researchers working on the bird flu - I don't think most of you are looking for interviews on Tumblr, but if you do fit that criteria, I'm very interested!

Animal welfare advocates/those who have experience with humane culling practices

Those with chicken/turkey farming experience (particularly ex or current commercial farmers, bonus points if you've experienced bird flu in your flocks)

Researchers who have worked with chickens/turkeys, regardless of specific bird flu experience

Anybody pigeon related - there's a pigeon portion to one of these pieces. Especially interested in folks raising their pigeons as livestock/for profit.

If you think you have a unique angle but you don't fit the above criteria, please do still reach out - just let me know what you think you can contribute so I can determine if you're a fit. Please DM me with your email, and I will reach out to you.

This post is being made May 31st, 2024, and will be taken down shortly afterwards. This is a time sensitive piece, since bird flu developments are happening rapidly. If you see this post via reblogs/etc after June 2nd, 2024, please know that I am no longer looking for interviewees at this time. Thank you!

As flu cases spike in Florida ERs, the CDC issues new guidance to identify bird flu

Left over from Biden. 47 has barred all communication about infectious disease because the numbers might make him look bad. Republicans broadly believe it is better to let large numbers of people die than to warn them about risk so they can take precautions.

I'm including animal stuff in here because it crosses species.

I noticed the forage boxes contained no eggs this week. I know the price is skyrocketing because of the bird flu. I am worried we won;t be able to get Livia's special food. Meanwhile Trump and RFK Jr. want to let people sell infected raw milk and don't care who is harmed or killed.

I beg of you do not drink raw milk.
