A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of attending #AccessFest24, a two-and-a-half day virtual conference hosted by Investigative Reporters and Editors! From discovering 50 FOIA ideas in 50 minutes to a crash course on using Python, the insights and investigative skills I gained have been invaluable. A huge thank you to all the speakers who shared their expertise at the event, and to IRE for awarding me the Gary Marx Scholarship to attend.
