After over 20 years of school, I’ve lost my taste for homework, but haven’t lost my appreciation for education. I am always looking for more opportunities to use my experience as a science journalist and scientist to tell stories for students.

Here are a few stories I’ve written for the American Chemical Society’s InChemistry site targeted toward undergraduate students:
