About Me

I write about science and how it shapes our lives — in health and disease, in the environment, and in the lab. My work has appeared in STAT, Science, The New York Times, WBUR, Undark Magazine, the Norwalk Hour, and other publications.

Previously, I was a science writer at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and a AAAS Mass Media Fellow at KQED. I hold a Ph.D. in materials science from Northwestern University, where I used advanced imaging approaches to study hard/soft interfaces in contexts ranging from sea urchins to brain cancer.
