A freelance health/science journalist, I write regularly for the Boston Globe, USA Today, Technology Review.com, and BBC online among other publications, on topics ranging from nutrition to cancer, genetics to child development. I also teach journalism at Boston University and the Harvard Extension School. I am writing two books with local doctors: The Autism Revolution (Ballantine/Random House, March 27, 2012), and FAST MINDS, about adult ADHD (Berkley/Penguin, late 2012), as well as an e-book on temper tantrums. Before freelancing, I spent 20 years in daily newspapers, most recently as Deputy Health/Science Editor at the Boston Globe.
