Francie Diep

I'm a staff reporter for The Chronicle of Higher Education, based in Washington, D.C. I cover money in higher ed. You can find my resume here.

Before the Chronicle, I covered science and health, including funding for academic science. I'm passionate about getting complex ideas right, making them fun and approachable, and uncovering information that helps communities and policymakers to make decisions. My work has been supported by the University of Southern California's Annenberg Center for Health Journalism, and cited in policy proposals by the Drug Policy Alliance and Senator Elizabeth Warren. My stories have appeared in The New York Times, Scientific American, Pacific Standard, and more.

I was a 2018 Center for Health Journalism Data Fellow. My Fellowship project examined the availability of medication-assisted treatment for opioid addiction in California.
