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
writer for the Boston Globe's
Ideas section, and I write its weekly Health
Answers column. My work has appeared in Science,
Wired, Harvard
Magazine, MIT's Technology
Review, Seed Magazine,
Conservation Magazine,
and other publications. I'm a graduate of the MIT
Graduate Program in Science Writing. From topics like pigeons
to microbes to perfumery, my work follows the path of my curiosity.
I look for stories that show the hidden meanings and paradoxes in
our world.
