Professional Bio

I am a freelance science journalist based in Madison, Wisconsin. My career has taken me from the Colombian jungle to the wheat fields of North Dakota. I cover everything from ecology to epigenetics, but my favorite topic is infectious diseases. You can find my stories in The New York Times, The Atlantic, Scientific American, Discover, Nature, and more.
