not actually me
As project editor, I developed the 2020, 2019 and 2018 Grist 50, the publication’s annual flagship project to showcase the best and the brightest up-and-coming leaders in sustainability. I was recently contributing editor for features with Spectrum, the autism research news site. Spectrum stories I edited won journalism awards in 2018 from the National Institute for Health Care Management, and in 2017 and 2016 from the Association for Health Care Journalists. Previously, I was special projects editor at Discover.
I’ve edited on a consulting basis for a variety of publications: Breaking science news stories for Wired in 2020, helping Neo.Life get off the ground in 2018, shaping Discover‘s massive Year in Science issue, and transforming technical articles for Scientific American Mind.
In the late 1990s, I was senior editor at City Limits, New York City’s feisty little investigative magazine-that-could. I scooped the NYT on stories about conflicts of interest in the mayor’s beloved Welfare-to-Work program, and the death of a Brooklyn teenager caused in part by negligent housing code enforcement.
