I am a staff writer for the Webby Award-winning publication MIT News, covering research across several disciplines. I also contribute to our related publication, Technology Review. My work has appeared in The New York Times, The Boston Globe, and many other publications
At MIT, my work continues to explore links between science, technology, and culture. My pieces often draw upon my training in the history of science. A brief selection of my MIT articles is here. Contact me here. You can learn more about me here.
