I am a writer and editor, and the executive editor/cofounder of Backchannel.

Lately I've written about artificial intelligence, weird marketing strategies, CRISPR, and WikiLeaks. Most of my recent writing can be found on Medium.

Previously I was the managing editor of Scientific American Mind. My features there tackled brain implants, procrastination, female geniuses, and the psychology of Starcraft 2.

In an even more prehistoric era, I edited and wrote stories from all over the world for IEEE Spectrum.
