I’ve written numerous articles about science and technology for publications including Scientific American, Popular Science, Inside Science, Discover Magazine, and Gizmodo.

Podcasts and Radio

I've been interested in audio work since I built sound effects for college theater productions. At Scientific American, I produced 60-Second Science podcast episodes as a freelancer and still make appearances on the podcast series today. At Popular Science, I helped develop and script the podcast Futuropolis. And you can sometimes hear me on the radio as the occasional News Roundup presenter or guest host of Science Friday.

Although I started out by telling science stories through writing and audio, I soon began producing videos. I wrote and hosted The Countdown, a bimonthly space news series on Scientific American's SpaceLab channel. At Popular Science, I covered events like Maker Faire,and developed video franchises, such as Rebuild and Build It. At Scientific American, I host videos that expand on news stories I've covered.
