About Sonali Prasad:
A freshly minted Knight Science Journalism Fellow from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston, USA, Sonali Prasad has worked on climate and environment stories across different forms, from print, video, data to art, and installations.

She has previously worked as an investigative reporter at Columbia University’s Energy and Environment Project and her work has been published in several outlets such as The Washington Post, The Guardian, Hakai magazine, etc.

She is a former Google News Lab Fellow and Pulitzer Traveling Fellow. Her project in India on forest rangers funded by the Pulitzer grant was exhibited at the Jor Bagh metro station in New Delhi amongst other outlets.

One of her first experimental collaborative projects, RE(ef)SOURCE, entailed pulling out coral reef health metrics using fluorescence data from citizen-sourced underwater images. This project added a new dimension to climate change stories by empowering journalists and local diving groups to deploy their own sensors and tools for collecting data directly from the environment, enabling a new type of environmental interview.
