I grew up in Baltimore, Maryland and, after graduating from Yale and Johns Hopkins, moved to the Washington, DC area. I've written three books for an adult audience (Slime, A Garden of Marvels, and Paradise Under Glass) and seven books for young adults, including hands-on science books titled Reinvent the Wheel and Build a Better Mousetrap. My articles have appeared in the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, and Boston Globe, among others. You can hear me in interviews at Science Friday on NPR, WICN, and other radio shows and podcasts.
I currently live in Bethesda, Maryland with my husband.
