Debora MacKenzie’s Biography
I have been a major contributor to New Scientist, the British science and technology weekly, since 1982. For many years I have mostly written about infectious disease, arms control, resource management, fisheries, food production, issues emerging from social complexity and the scientific understanding of social phenomena such as migration, denialism, economic development and political organisation. My educational background is in biology, with graduate work in electrophysiology and pharmacology. I have lived in continental Europe since 1980, formerly in Brussels, currently near Geneva, Switzerland.
