SciComm

Within my graduate training as a scientist, there was little room for mastering outreach. In the absence of that training, I practiced science communication on my own, authoring the blog Powered by Osteons since 2003 and becoming a go-to expert for science journalists. This turn into public intellectualism then led to more opportunities for me to translate high level anthropological and archaeological research for a general audience.

Currently, I am a staff writer at Live Science. In the past, I have written occasional pieces for outlets like Mental Floss, Smithsonian Magazine, and Interesting Facts.

From 2015–2020, I was a senior contributor at Forbes in the areas of anthropology, archaeology, and the classical Greek and Roman world. Prior to that, I wrote for the British pop-sci magazine Science Uncovered.
