I am a freelance writer based in Tel Aviv, Israel. My main focus is on science writing, but I also write about travel and food. I hold two bachelor's of science degrees from MIT, one in neuroscience and the other in writing. I am a member of the Israeli Association of Science Communicators.

For recent samples of my writing, check out the ten-page story I did for the 2011 issue of Scopus magazine, profiling eleven scientists working on environmental and sustainability issues at Hebrew University (pdf); a piece on green tea and the brain for Technion's Focus magazine; my article (pdf) about the Bronstein twins, two scientists who have revolutionized facial recognition technology, for the Spring 2010 issue of 18 magazine; and my article (pdf) about the Yiddish revival in Israel, which appeared in the same issue.

For coverage of my June 2011 talk at the World Conference of Science Journalists in Qatar, see articles on ScienceInsider or the Jerusalem Post.

My most recent travel piece--detailing how I became President of the Jury at Serbia's World Testicle Cooking Championship--was published in Best Women's Travel Writing 2011. Pick up a copy, or check out upcoming book readings: July 25, 2011 at Brookline Booksmith in Boston and August 6, 2011 at the Golden Notebook in Woodstock, NY.

My work has been published in magazines (Maxim, 18, Glimpse, Budget Travel, Mir Afishu), books (Best Women's Travel Writing 2011, A Stingray Bit My Nipple: True Stories from Real Travelers, It All Changed in an Instant: More Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure) and online (WGBH Lab, TelAvivCity.com, hotels.vc, Glimpse Online). In 2008 I maintained a blog for the WGBH Lab on documentary filmmaking.
