Summer of Science
During the summer of 2009, fellow science writer Lizzie Wade and I drove 15,000 miles across America to take the pulse of American high energy physics as the Large Hadron Collider slowly rumbled to life in Europe. After visits to eight DOE national laboratories, a NASA lab, the Very Large Array and the abandoned site [...]
Writing & Consulting
I serve as a writing and design consultant to several private foundations, and, time-permitting, pursue independent writing projects and assignments.

In addition to significant growth of the field, I found an increasing emphasis on socially-oriented research. Though studies concerning physical cognition [...]

In the coming months, I will be taking a trip to Europe to visit a number of physics- and Cold War-related sites scattered around the continent. Though the scale will not likely approach that of the Summer of Science, I hope to at least visit and document CERN, Chernobyl, DESY, Copenhagen and the Fulda Gap. [...]
