About

I’m a health and science writer based in Grenoble, France. My written work can be found in The Atlantic, The New Republic, STAT News, Slate, The New York Times, WIRED, The Open Notebook, Vox, The Associated Press, Popular Science, CJR and more.

You can also listen to me (and learn about dementia-friendly architecture) on 99 Percent Invisible. My New Yorker piece about envisioning a good life for people living with dementia is featured in 2023’s Best American Science and Nature Writing.

I'm a graduate of NYU’s SHERP and a once-intern at Radiolab, Popular Science, The Chicago Tribune, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, The Minneapolis Star Tribune, MPR News and my hometown newspaper, The Rochester Post-Bulletin.
