I’m a biochemist-turned-science-writer at the Institute for Protein Design. Our work was a runner-up for Science Magazine's 2016 Breakthrough of the Year. (Thanks, gravitational waves.) I am also a freelance science writer and consultant.

​My writing for The Conversation has appeared in Scientific American, Fast Company, Salon and more than 30 other online outlets. As a 2018 AAAS Mass Media fellow, I reported on the progress and process of science at the Philadelphia Inquirer​. As a columnist and special advisor for SynBioBeta, I cover the cultural and economic forces shaping synthetic biology.
