Lindsay Lazarski is senior editor and producer of “The Pulse,” WHYY’s weekly health and science show and podcast, and the WHYY News Climate Desk.
Before joining the health and science team, she created and co-produced WHYY’s Cosby Unraveled podcast. For several years, Lindsay reported on Pennsylvania’s distressed cities, often traversing the state — from former steel towns to coal country — giving voice to people living and working in overlooked communities for the Keystone Crossroads project.
She has a master’s degree from The Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York and is a former South Bronx public school teacher.
