I currently have active writing and editing contracts with three U.S. national research labs under the Department of Energy. See below for selected examples of my work for Argonne, PNNL, and Berkeley Lab. I also write and edit for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. My science writing has been recognized with an award from the National Association of Science Writers.
