A little about myself.

I'm a PhD-trained journalist and writer covering the life sciences, biomedicine, science policy, and the intersections of science and society. 

​My stories have appeared in publications including Nature, Science, Scientific American, Spectrum News, and PBS's NOVA Next. I'm also a regular contributor to MicrobiomePost.com, where I write about the microbes that live in our bodies.

In my previous life, I studied how bacteria grow and how embryos get their shape. Along the way, I got a PhD in biology.
