I'm a freelance writer in Boston specializing
in features, books, and research news about medicine, science, and
nature. I'm the author of Superdove:
How the Pigeon Took Manhattan...And the World, published in
August 2008 by Smithsonian Books/Harper-Collins. I'm a contributing
editor for Harvard Magazine,
and my work has appeared in Body+Soul,
MIT's Technology Review,
Seed Magazine, the Improper
Bostonian, Newsweek, Conservation
Magazine, and other publications. I'm a former staff writer
at Harvard Medical School's Focus
and coauthor of two Harvard Medical School guides on nutrition,
and a graduate of the MIT
Graduate Program in Science Writing. I've tackled topics from
the inner workings of a synapse to the psychology of shopping, and
my work follows the path of my curiosity. I look for stories that
show the hidden meanings and paradoxes in our world.
