As a freelance science writer with a whopping eight months under my belt, I've written about waterbug sex (here), monkey mind over matter (here), tissue rejection (here), and a variety of other things.

I studied molecular biology for years, and mostly I cover the life sciences (I'm partial to biochemistry and structural biology especially), but doing time at a national lab grew me on physics and materials sciences, an area that undeservedly does not get a lot of play in the media.

I've compiled a few recent clips, at least one of which is available to those without passwords or subscriptions. A lengthy archive is also available, for the really curious or the really thorough. In the archives, you will find links to stories I wrote while I worked for three years at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, where, among other things, I learned about "key capabilities" and "core competencies" -- otherwise known as areas of expertise. Here are mine.
