I'm an independent health and science journalist, and the founder and editor of Wise & Well: A science-backed health and wellness publication on Medium that aims to make your tomorrow a little better than today.

I work with experienced writers—journalists and topical experts—and do full edits on every story, setting a high bar for accuracy, clarity and meaning, all with the goal of serving readers by delivering informative, entertaining reads. I also teach nonfiction article writing at the Writer's Guide, a Substack newsletter and mentoring/coaching service.

Going back in time, I've logged more than three decades reporting, writing, editing and managing newspapers and online publications. I was the founding editor and later editor-in-chief of Live Science, and also editor-in-chief of Space.com, then chief content officer of a media company leading the launch and growth of several health, science and technology publications.

I'm the author of Make Sleep Your Superpower: A Guide to Greater Health, Happiness & Productivity (paperback or Kindle version).

I’m a skeptical optimist. I believe we can all do better throughout life, and I put my trust in science while acknowledging that, like you and me, it’s never perfect, always evolving, and sometimes—oops—totally off its rocker. As a writer, I sift through studies new and old to find the good, the bad and the questionable. I talk to the experts. Then I boil it all down into concise, accurate, readable takeaways that reflect both what’s known and what’s not, what’s credible and what’s suspect or total bunk.
