I'm Losing Count, The Xylom
Writer
I am a science and non-fiction writer. Currently, I am a full-time physics reporter at the New Scientist.
My articles have appeared in WIRED, Slate, Scientific American, MIT Technology Review, Quanta Magazine, Physics World, the Xylom and Massive Science. I have also contributed public information work and profiled educators for University of Illinois. Additionally, I have co-written eight scientific articles for peer reviewed journals. I am proficient in both technical and lyrical writing and always looking to expand my skill set. Some of my recent writing is featured in the side-bar and you can hear from me regularly through my newsletter where I publish a monthly personal essay.
