Welcome!

I’m a San Diego-based freelance writer who’s interested in how science changes individuals, communities, and societies.

I spent many years involved in research and I was lucky enough to find myself steeped in settings that pushed discovery and innovation.

Along the way, I learned that explaining the implications of a new advance was as important to scientific work as doing it. Often, it was the most essential part.

I hope you enjoy reading the stories on these pages.  A few of them have won journalism awards. They were – and will continue to be – fun to write!
