christopher_mimsI write for Scientific American, Popular Science, Technology Review and others.

I’ve written about a variety of subjects, including mathematics, technology, public health, testosterone poisoning, the chemistry of hydrothermal vents and gadgets.

Links to recent examples of my output are available on the homepage of the site you’re on now. My primary extra-professional outlets are twitter and backtype.

Previously, I was a producer for Small Mammal, where I helped director/genius/auteur John Pavlus produce science videos for Slate, Popular Science and Nature.

Before that, I was a writer and editor for Scientific American.

I got my start by launching and editing ScienceBlogs and SeedMagazine.com for Seed.

In another life I was a crayfish neuroscientist specializing in functional and anatomical studies via Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
