I am a science writer and editor who helps researchers present complex information to general audiences, policy makers, journalists and their peers.

My interest in online collaboration and communication has roots in the exhilarating low-bandwidth days of dial-up bulletin board systems and MOOs.

I launched the [http://www8.nationalacademies.org/onpinews/newsitem.aspx?RecordID=12301994 National Academy of Sciences (NAS) online] service on America Online (AOL) in 1994, moderating science, health and engineering discussion boards and producing live chat events featuring guests such as Pulitzer Prize-winning biologist E.O. Wilson.

As the World Wide Web became increasingly commercialized (in other words, a more viable medium for reaching general audiences), the service transitioned from AOL to the [http://www.nas.edu NAS website], where I expanded its offerings to include interactive audio webcasts.

I now work as an electronic outreach strategist and science writer for organizations such as the National Institutes of Health.

I've been a Wikipedia reader since 2001.
