Excited to announce that I’ve joined The Scientist team as an intern for this winter! My first story is already out; it’s a short but important read: the-scientist.com/news-opinion/t…


A fun story I wrote for for The Scientist! Baby pine trees can’t run from their beetle attackers, but they can fight; and new research finds the seedlings help each other out in the battle. the-scientist.com/news-opinion/p…

It’s been a fun few hours 😅 Read about the incredibly interesting people who won the chemistry The Nobel Prize this morning!


With my latest The Scientist story I can now say I’ve written about the second of my two favorite w animals (🐋 and 🐺), and revisited my AP bio Mendelian genetics roots 🎲. Read it here: the-scientist.com/news-opinion/b…


This internship offered me a window into my dream career and introduced me to the best people, including the incredible Shraddha Chakradhar. Could not recommend this program enough, and please reach out if you’re thinking of applying and have questions!

#heymac What an absolute pleasure to host 3 of my former students of the #WildlifeConservCourse Macalester College Isabell Dyrbye-Wright Katherine Iyoya Irving Kean Kearney as ‘career/after-school life’ panelists for my current course 🙏🏼 Melts my heart to see my students do so well 🥹 #AcademicChatter



I have fond memories of being a bleacher sibling at these games, more interested in the snacks and whatever book I’d brought than watching my brother play. Kori Suzuki is on Bluesky captured that world so beautifully in writing. hcn.org/articles/south…

It has been an amazing run at FiveThirtyEight but I was laid off today. I have deeply loved working on this team. My editors and coworkers past and present have been amazing and I have done so much work at this site that I am incredibly proud of. Anybody need a science writer?

So excited to welcome Celina Zhao and @tanvidg as the summer 2023 Diverse Voices in Science Journalism interns News from Science! Read more about them here: aaas.org/news/diverse-v…

A team of researchers from MBARI, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute, and Universität Wien led by Darrin Schultz has answered a fundamental question about animal evolution. Learn more: mbari.org/news/genetic-r…

I am so honored to share that my Berkeley Journalism audio thesis, which I’ve been working on for the last year, is on @nprcodeswitch. It’s about a missing chapter of Japanese American history and the stories lost when one narrative comes to define an entire identity. npr.org/2023/05/22/117…

I don’t post much on here anymore, but wanted to share a fascinating interview I had on Science Magazine pod. Love Dalén explains ancient DNA, and how it could unlock the secrets of our past. Thanks to Kevin McLean for helping me produce this segment! science.org/content/podcas…
