about: I am a physics and cosmology writer. My first book, Trespassing on Einstein's Lawn, was published by Random House in January 2014.

I'm a consultant for New Scientist magazine, where I formerly served as Books &amp; Arts editor and founded CultureLab. My writing has been featured in Nautilus, New Scientist, Scientific American, Sky and Telescope, Astronomy.com and The Philadelphia Inquirer. I studied the History and Philosophy of Science at the London School of Economics and was a 2012-13 Knight Science Journalism Fellow at MIT. I live in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where I'm staring at the blank pages that are to be book #2... I am a physics and cosmology writer.
