My first job in media was as a fact-checker at Wondertime Magazine in 2007. I loved it, and after the magazine folded I kept at it. Nowadays I'm a member of the fact-checking pools at Radiolab and ScienceVs.

 

 I've also checked facts for a variety of nonfiction books, including 

 

 A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching, by Rosemary Mosco

 

and

 

 Poking the Squid: What we can Learn from Animal Sex, by Perrin Ireland
