Greetings! I'm Lauren, a technology and science journalist (that's me writing on the left!). Currently, I am a digital and social media producer at Science Friday. I live in New York City, but am a native of the heart of California—the San Joaquin Valley. I attended New York University's Science, Health and Environmental Reporting Program (SHERP), and received a B.S. in biology and a minor in English from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.
I like to write about a lot of things, but I have a penchant for covering how technology affects our behavior and health, profiling the humans behind scientific research, and digging up odd medical and technology inventions of the past. My work has been featured in Science Friday, IEEE Spectrum, Atlas Obscura, Inverse, Smithsonian Online, and MedPage Today.
For fun, I work at libraries and collect science comic books.
Tweet me your favorite comics and sci/tech stories @laurenjyoung617.
