I’m a journalist covering culture, health and medical innovation, based in Brussels, and currently a contributing writer at Undark.

My writing has appeared in Undark, Scientific American, Slate, The Atlantic Monthly, Mosaic Science, New York Times, the Guardian, MIT Sloan Management Review, Al Jazeera America, the Irish Sunday Independent, the Irish Times, and other outlets. I’ve been an intern at Salon.com, a fact-checker at the New York Times Syndicate, and a deputy editor at the Economist Intelligence Unit. I’ve also appeared on RTE’s Drivetime, reporting on issues like fertility treatments in Europe and on the case of Dutch fertility doctor, Jan Karbaat.

I hold a doctorate in ancient Greek literature from Oxford University and co-edited a book about the Greek philosopher, Plutarch, published by Oxford University Press. I previously lived in Dublin, London, and in New York, where I had a studentship to study cultural journalism at NYU.
