Welcome

I'm a journalist specializing in longform features for (mostly) U.S. magazines, including The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic, Bloomberg Businessweek, Scientific American, Nature, Wired, The Guardian, TheAtlantic.com, and more. My writing and editing have won awards from professional organizations including the Society of Professional Journalists and Society of Environmental Journalists.

A list of all the publications I've written for is here. 

​

Now based in Amsterdam, I've lived in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, and I've reported from Madagascar, Burundi, Tanzania, Madrid, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Helsinki, Vancouver, Chicago, Israel, Italy, Raratonga, Ecuador, Idaho, Nebraska, Indiana, NY, LA, DC, Yosemite National Park, all the other places marked on this map (which is better viewed on desktop), and more.   

​

I mostly cover issues related to science, technology, and the environment, and their intersections. I've also written features on criminal justice, education, mental health, medical science, early childhood development, and more.  

​

I have edited longform features for national consumer magazines including finalists for awards from the American Society of Magazine Editors and winners of Independent Press Awards.
