My blogs
| Introduction | I am a science journalist. My credits include Science Magazine, ScienceNow, Nature, Scientific American, Physics World, The New Scientist, The Scientist, IEEE Spectrum Magazine, BBC Focus Magazine, The Guardian , The Independent, Astronomy , Sky & Telescope, and Publishers Weekly. I am also interested in the history of science and technology, which resulted in three books. With Bryan Bunch, I am the author of The History of Science and Technology: A Browser's Guide to the Great Discoveries, Inventions, and the People Who Made Them from the Dawn of Time to Today, published by Houghton-Mifflin (Boston) in 2004. Previously we wrote The Timetables of Science (1988) and The Timetables of Technology (1993), published by Simon and Schuster in New York. The Timetables of Science has also been published in the UK, Germany, Japan, and Romania. I have lived and worked in the United States, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, England, Germany and Italy—which is why the editors at Science call me the “Flying Dutchman,” although I am not really Dutch, but a compatriot and fan of Hercule Poirot. |
