I am an award-winning science writer and editor with more than 10 years of experience covering a wide breadth of science, from astronomy to zoology, and best known as founder of Smithsonian.com’s Surprising Science blog, which became the publication's most widely read online column within two and a half years. My work has been published in a variety of outlets, including Smithsonian, Science, Science News, National Geographic News and NPR.org.
