This is my personal blog. I used to write here almost daily, but most of my writing can now be found over at the Interchange Project.

I am a writer, podcaster, social media researcher, technologist, community builder, journalist, blogger, thinker and trouble maker. In my day job, I manage social media for Society for Science & the Public and its publications, Science News and Science News for Kids.

This blog used to be The Journalism Iconoclast. You can read about why I made the change here and here.

I used to run (before our grant ran out) the non-profit journalism project BeatBlogging.Org and occasionally make new posts there.

The content on this blog represents my viewpoint only and not that of my employer or colleagues.
