Business Insider senior reporter Morgan McFall-Johnsen was among the recent layoffs.
She covered climate change, weather, Earth sciences, and space, as well as health and medicine, environmental issues, and occasionally archaeology.
“A huge thank you to everyone at BI who’s edited me, reported or written stories with me, or otherwise supported my work along the way,” she wrote on LinkedIn. “I’ve learned so much from countless talented people. I’m also grateful to all the people who’ve trusted me with their stories and their research.”
McFall-Johnsen has appeared on NBC, Scripps News, Sirius XM, C-SPAN, and NPR to discuss climate change, extreme weather, Mars missions, the space race, and far-right extremism. She’s previously written for Backpacker Magazine, Outside Business Journal (formerly SNEWS), and Popular Science.
She holds a Bachelor of Science in Journalism from Northwestern University, where she also studied environmental policy and French. She was a 2022 Logan Science Journalism Fellow at the Marine Biological Laboratory and a 2023 Columbia Energy Journalism Fellow.
