Hi. My name is Cameron, and I am a Science Writer.

I write about genomes, quirks of evolution, the brain, the environment, and even soap (sometimes). I am a regular contributor to Discovery’s Curiosity Daily Podcast. My work has appeared on MinuteEarth, Hakai Magazine, and in The Green Scene column in Asheville, NC’s alt-weekly Mountain Xpress.

In graduate school, I would ask birds questions in order to become a scientist. Now, I ask scientists questions to learn about, well, anything.

I do this because my passion is to make science accessible to everyone.
