Bryant Furlow
An award-winning investigative medical and science journalist, Bryant's reporting has appeared in five
languages, in newspapers and magazines around the world. He reports regularly for The Lancet
Oncology and other medical journals.
At The New Mexico Independent, Bryant reported on lax state regulation of the health insurance
industry and safety lapses and worker deaths at oil refineries. His reporting on procurement
irregularities, missing lab tests and engineering problems at Bernalillo, New Mexico’s water treatment
plant led to the halt of a $9 million construction project in 2010 and the state’s successful intervention
to bring Bernalillo’s water quality into compliance with the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act.
Among other honors, Bryant received a first-place investigative reporting award from the New Mexico
Press Association and Associated Press Managing Editors for his series on the off-label sedation of jail
inmates with addictive prescription pills, and a resulting, deadly street trade in psychiatric drugs.
Bryant is a member of Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE), the Society of Professional Journalists
(SPJ), the Association of Health Care Journalists (AHCJ) and the New Mexico Foundation for Open
Government (NMFOG).
He studied biology at UNM and international relations at CSU Sacramento.
