I’m a contributing editor at Technology Review. Until recently I blogged the converging crises of the 21st century for Grist. I report for Wired and Scientific American, and I’ve got projects cooking for The BBC, The Atlantic and Smithsonian.
You can contact me here.
Lately I’ve been helping friends launch an experiment in alternate funding models for science and environment-focused media, called MajorPlanet.
Other places I’ve written for include Slate, Fast Company, Popular Science, Good, SmartPlanet, Discover, Nature, Nature Medicine, Txchnologist, Glamour, Plenty, and the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions at Duke University.
At various times I’ve been an editor at Scientific American and Grist. I was also a producer at Small Mammal, where I helped director John Pavlus produce science videos for Slate, Popular Science and Nature. I got my start in journalism by launching ScienceBlogs and SeedMagazine.com for Seed.
In another life I was a crayfish neuroscientist specializing in functional and anatomical studies via Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
