Science Writer

Penguin victory dances, the psychological challenges of traveling to Mars, and nighttime thunderstorms: science is awe-inspiring as well as thought-provoking, and I get to cover it all.

I was a senior news editor with Nature magazine, and a staff reporter and editor for National Geographic. I've also written and edited stories for Smithsonian.com, and Science magazine. I'm currently a freelance science writer and editor.
