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've written for
Harvard Magazine, Body+Soul,
MIT's Technology Review,
Harvard Medical School's Focus,
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.
