Welcome

Hello, I'm a science writer who specializes in nonfiction for kids. I escaped from the lab in 2000, leaving behind a career in molecular biology to become a writer. I write about the natural world, how scientists are studying it, and how people are impacting it. In my books and articles, I aim to share with young readers the wonder and beauty of science, along with the challenges and controversies.
