About Humanosphere

About company

Humanosphere is operated by Tom Paulson, a veteran journalist who for more than a quarter century has covered matters of global health, science, medicine, health policy, aid and development. Prior to operating this news blog, Paulson was science and medical reporter at the Seattle Post Intelligencer. Humanosphere is an independent, non-profit news organization. It was originally launched in 2010 with support from National Public Radio and Seattle affiliate station KPLU (and with funding from the Knight Foundation and Corporation for Public Broadcasting). They remain in partnership with KPLU but, in order to grow, have spread their wings and tumbled out of the nest.
