I’ve been a full- or part-time journalist since 2005, writing mostly about science, agriculture and the environment, although I spent a year as a daily beat reporter in Colorado covering pretty much everything, from education and arts to religion and breaking news. I also do some multimedia and graphics, which you can find on my multimedia page. Here are some links to my work.
