I'm a bug AND a feature! I am a full-time freelancer that writes about science for various media outlets.

Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes! And I also failed typing in high school. On a manual typewriter.

What tools and software do you use to do your job?

I use mostly TextEdit, because that way I can do minimal formatting with not a lot of html baggage when I paste or send in to editors.

What's the worst pitch you ever got?

A PR company wanted to try to get me to cover their "Insect Fear Factor" screaming contest. Nope.
