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 I write the weekly Health Answers column for the Boston
Globe. My work has appeared in Body+Soul,
MIT's Technology
Review, Seed Magazine,
Improper Bostonian,
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.
