Exciting news! My 2018 BuzzFeed News story about CrossFit’s crusade against Big Soda, the mainstream fitness industry, and scientific misconduct has been anthologized in The Best Science Stories and How They Work: A Collection with Commentary, available 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. Conferences, events, and panels I’ve spoken at/on have been hosted by the likes of Science Writers, the Education Writers Association, the Association of Health Care Journalists, the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing, Investigative Reporters & Editors, the Society of Environmental Journalists, Metascience, the International Conference on the Science of Science and Innovation, the Perspectives on Scientific Error Workshop, the Computational Research Integrity Conference, and the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science, among others.
