I try to link to new articles on the blog, so the recent stuff can be found there. These stories below are a decent reflection of my writing. Most of my pieces are in Popular Science, but I've also written for The Atlantic Monthly, Wired, Scientific American, Discover, National Geographic Adventure, Women's Health, Boston, and the Boston Globe.

How scientists tracked down rare asteroid fragments in a remote desert.
A journey through Ireland's myths, hills, lakes, and waves.
