I am an award-winning science and technology journalist, editor, author and producer. I am a Bloomberg.com and Bloomberg Businessweek contributor. Other recent articles have appeared in Science Magazine, SciAm.com, and U.S. News and World Report. I also blog about neuroscience for the Foundation for Psychocultural Research, and have covered the intersection of science and the arts, including reviews of plays, operas, and art and museum exhibits for ScienceFriday.com.
