About me
“Frighteningly talented,” wrote an anonymous judge who recommended me for an award once. I’m dutifully trying to live up to that. :)
I’m a writer, researcher, and consultant specializing in environmental and historical topics. I’ve done both serious science and popular writing.
I like asking good questions, and answering them with clear analyses and dogged reporting. My work has been published in peer-reviewed journals like American Naturalist, and popular forums like Sierra, Alternet, MAKE, Air & Space/Smithsonian, GOOD, and E: the Environmental Magazine. I also coauthored the book Knitalong, a celebration of the social aspects of craft.
