I am an award-winning science writer and editor with 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, Natural History, Science NOW and NPR.com. I am also interested in the evolving role of women in science throughout history and am working on a book about female scientists who predate Marie Curie. Read my new blog Sarah's Science.
And check out Rare Earth Elements Not Rare, Just Playing Hard to Get, for which I won the 2010 DC Science Writers Association Newsbrief Award.
