Science Writing
I have extensive experience reporting and writing stories about science and the people who do it.
My own scientific background is in the biogeosciences, but I write stories about interesting research in any field. The only subjects I do not cover journalistically are the specific areas I am currently investigating as a primary researcher.
Check out a few examples of my work below!
