This means the absolute world to me. Very grateful to sources and academics who are STILL helping me uncover the legacy of lead in our environment, as well as the impact itโ€™s having on our health. Feel very lucky (as always) to work at the @financialtimes.com and with such brilliant editors. ๐Ÿ™

What a ridiculous honour to just make this list, given both the origin of the award and the calibre of journalism itโ€™s recognised over the yearsโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ™
