I am a graduate of MIT’s science writing program, currently contracting with the National Institutes of Health and always looking for freelance opportunities. My main areas of interest are medicine and astronomy, but I like to explore everything.
I was born in New York, went to college in Boston, worked in New York, and went to grad school in Boston; moving to Maryland messed up my pattern.
This blog is for talking about the science-related happenings in my life and in the world. Please bear with me if I explore subjects that are well trod to you or others. I’m still learning my way.

Hi,
I’m an attorney at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University. In 2009 we launched the Online Media Legal Network (OMLN), a free legal referral network that helps independent journalists and online publishers find free legal help. The network provides assistance in a broad range of legal issues, including pre-publication review of content, copyright counseling and licensing, freelancer agreements, and representation in litigation.
We’re reaching out to the community of science journalists and scientists who blog about their work or comment upon science coverage in the news media. Our services are completely free, but we do have some limitations on who we can help. If you would like to learn more about our project, I encourage you to visit our website at https://www.omln.org or email me directly.
Please also feel free to spread the word about OMLN and to fellow scientists and science journalists!
