About Me
I'm a freelance journalist specializing in (but not limited to) science, medicine and the environment. After graduating from Columbia University with a bachelor's in astronomy, I traveled to Chile on a Fulbright grant to study ancient Andean cosmology. I returned to the United States and earned a master's in journalism from Indiana University. I interned at the Physical Review Focus, an online source of physics news for physicists, physics students and physics enthusiasts. Following that, I edited QuantumDiaries.org for the World Year of Physics 2005 and worked for the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth, where I wrote for Imagine magazine and Cogito.org. Then I moved to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, where I produced the radio show Science Update and developed and launched the Science Update Podcast. Now I'm a freelance, based in Manhattan and reporting from around the world.If you'd like to know more, Columbia College Today recently wrote a profile of me.
