Rae Ellen Bichell
Rae Ellen Bichell reports for the Mountain West News Bureau out of KUNC in Colorado.
Before joining the team, she covered everything from Ebola to butterfly evolution and space toilets as a science reporter for NPR. She also tried freelancing for a couple years in Helsinki, Finland, originally under a Fulbright grant.
Now based in northern Colorado, she spends her free time reading, playing indoor soccer (not very well) and doing a crazy sport called canyoneering.
