The Knight-Mozilla OpenNews Fellowship (previously just MoJo, short for Mozilla Journalism, which frankly is a much better name) is a 10 month fellowship where I'll get to collaborate with a bunch of peeps in code-journalism, as well as work with a news organization to make cool stuff.

And next year, I'll be working with PBS Frontline in Boston!

Frontline has won, what, 57 Emmys so far for all their fantastic documentaries? And PBS itself is host to many amazing things. A few peeps at Mozilla & Frontline saw my interactive animation, Neurotic Neurons, and thought -- hey, I bet this kid could help us crack this interactive documentary thing!

I want to thank all of you again. Neurotic Neurons was a Patreon-supported project, so I actually wouldn't be here without all your help. <3

And don't worry, Fellows get plenty of personal side-project time, so I'll still be making you-funded and you-credited experimental works! Speaking of which, I'll be uploading a new experimental prototype next week. It's a tool that lets you easily make stuff like Parable of the Polygons! Also, it uses emoji.

<3,

P.S: Patreon's rich text editor is still bad bears, and that makes me sad bears
