I’m a health and science writer based in Lausanne, Switzerland. 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. My New Yorker piece about envisioning a good life for people living with dementia was featured in 2023’s Best American Science and Nature Writing.
You can also listen to me (and learn about dementia-friendly architecture) on 99 Percent Invisible.
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.
