I’m a journalist reporting on climate change for The Washington Post. My writing has also appeared in Grist, WIRED, the Los Angeles Review of Books, Rolling Stone, Slate, and other outlets. I’m currently working on a book project on microplastics and the economic history of plastic.

Writing

I’ve written about…

…how schizophrenia made one man particularly vulnerable to extreme heat in Phoenix

…the fallout when France asked 150 ordinary citizens to make climate policy

…how a compound power outage and heat wave devastated Houston, Texas

…what happens in our lungs when we breathe microplastics in the air

…the quest to stop cows from burping methane — by genetically editing microbes

…why sea levels are rising faster in the American southeast than almost anywhere else on the globe

I’m also the first author of several academic papers — you can find them here.
