A number of articles that I wrote on various scientific topics for the lay public are currently 'in print' at HowStuffWorks.com. The topics covered are varied, ranging from nicotine to Venus Flytraps. You will find more choices in the pull down menu above.

During my tenure at the Mathematics and Science Education Network in Chapel Thrill after grad school, I wrote policy puff pieces on science education (originally published as a Point of View column in the Raleigh News & Observer) and reported on topics such as Laboratory Safety as an editor for the Golden Mean.
