Sharing science is my passion.
I went to grad school with the goal of a career in research. Shortly before graduating, I realized that I love sharing science more than I love doing science.
I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of South Carolina and a PhD in the neuroscience of mental disorders from the University of Minnesota.
I started my writing career as a graduate student by blogging and teaching scientific writing to undergraduates., and then spent some time as a university science writer.
Now my day job lets me work with scientists and writers, and I’m taking on freelance science writing. I’ve written for Ensia, Pretty Smart Science, and the YouTube channel SciShow and have more bylines in the works!
My favorite topics to write about are science history, the brain, biology, and questions I have about the universe.
