My work spans neuroscience education, public science communication, and the questions people are already asking about their brains, bodies, and health.

I love telling stories about science, particularly ones that shine light on the process and people behind it.

I’m the author of So You Want to Be a Neuroscientist? and two other forthcoming books.

These days, I am a columnist at The Transmitter and a freelance writer elsewhere.
