I am an experienced science writer and editor located in Madison, Wisconsin. As a social psychologist by training (I earned my Ph.D. from Yale University in 2000), I am especially interested in behavioral science topics including psychology, neuroscience, behavioral medicine, behavioral economics, animal behavior and related subjects. However, I have covered a wide range of scientific topics, from astronomy and earth science to immunology and medicine (see writing samples). I welcome projects in all areas of science.

I have written for Science, Scientific American Mind, Prevention, ScienceNOW, the HHMI Bulletin, Science News, Reuters Health, the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the APA Monitor (the magazine of the American Psychological Association), the APS Observer (the magazine of the Association for Psychological Science), World Book Science Year, Grolier Encyclopedia Science Supplement, and others.

I am the first author, with psychologist Karen Huffman, of Visualizing Psychology (John Wiley & Sons, 2007). Visualizing Psychology Cover Art

I contribute 5 percent or more of my profits to various non-profit, philanthropic organizations.
