Exciting news! My 2018 BuzzFeed News story about CrossFit’s crusade against Big Soda, the mainstream fitness industry, and scientific misconduct will be anthologized in The Best Science Stories and How They Work: A Collection with Commentary, forthcoming in July from the University of Chicago Press.


I frequently talk about covering and investigating issues in science, health, and academia, as well as about topics like academic integrity and scientific reproducibility.

Select interviews/writings/appearances:

+ dubious food research and the replication crisis (NPR, Science Friday)
+ investigating scientific misconduct (The Open Notebook)
+ getting started as a science journalist (The Open Notebook)
+ an erroneous yet influential COVID study (Against the Rules with Michael Lewis)
+ data vigilantes keeping science honest (Vox, Unexplainable)
+ the research hated by President Trump’s administration (College Matters)
