About Me
I’m a writer living in Washington, D.C. My background is in science and science history, and what really fascinates me isn’t gee-whiz discoveries but what those discoveries say about the messiness, futility, or brilliance of the human condition. Hence, a blog about science, religion, culture, and where they intersect. I define “science” and “religion” pretty broadly, and I’m hoping to move beyond some of tired religion-science stories that get attention in the media.
About me: I’m currently finishing The Disappearing Spoon, a book that examines every element on the periodic table and relates a quirky, spooky, or funny story about it. Until recently, I was an editor at Search, and I’ve freelanced for The New York Times magazine, The American Scholar, Slate, Mental Floss, and New Scientist, among other places.
