About

As the Health and Medical Editor at The Boston Globe, I oversee a team of reporters who cover a wide range of topics related to public health, medical research, scientific advances, mental health, reproductive care, substance abuse, and patient care. With more than 20 years of experience in science journalism, I have a passion for informing and engaging the public with accurate, timely, and compelling stories.Before coming to The Boston Globe I was a science reporter at The Dallas Morning News and a senior editor at Scientific American, where I wrote, assigned and edited articles covering all areas of science. In 2021, I was selected as an MIT Knight Science Journalism project fellow to pursue in-depth research on the link between energy production and earthquakes for a forthcoming book. I am also the author of "The Forgotten Cure: The Fall and Rise of Phage Therapy" (Copernicus Books, 2011), which explores the history and potential of a novel treatment for superbugs.
