Welcome to my website. I’m a freelance journalist based in San Francisco, covering science and technology. I’m particularly interested in computing, energy and environment, materials science, and synthetic biology. After over a decade as a science journalist, my favorite nanomaterial is carbon nanotubes and my favorite quasiparticle is the plasmon. If you don’t have favorites of your own yet, you should read some of my work. I’m a contributing editor at Technology Review, a contributor at Chemical and Engineering News, and I serve on the board of the Northern California chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists.

About the header: This image of undersea creatures comes from the works of 19th century natural historian Ernst Haeckel. Thanks to Angela Tieri for making the header and helping set up this website. Local investigative gadflies at the San Francisco Public Press house freelancers including me in affordable office space–many thanks to them.
