Freelance science journalist

 

 

I'm a science journalist, living and working from my home in Pemberton, BC, Canada. My academic background is in chemistry and oceanography, but I write across all the physical sciences, from AI to quantum, with climate change and the environment in between. I write for Nature, Yale E360, Hakai magazine, the Pique newspaper, SAPIENS, the New York Times and more.

 

I work (or have worked) as a reporter and editor for several major publications, including the science journal Nature, winning some awards along the way (here's my full CV). I have also taught science journalism at UBC, and given many public-facing talks about science communication or specific science subjects, including AI. In 2019 I was invited to give a TED talk about noise pollution in the ocean. My first book, a non-fiction story about Spotted Owls, was published in 2023.

I post everything I write, and some of what I edit, on this blog. Enjoy!
