Lauren working with archival audio at public radio's Science Friday.
I'm Lauren, a science journalist, multimedia producer, and editor. Currently, I am an associate editor covering health and medicine for Scientific American. Before joining Scientific American, I was an associate editor for Popular Science and a producer and reporter at the public radio show, Science Friday. I studied biology and minored in English before earning a master's in science journalism.
I frequently discuss my work and experience on stage, on panels, on the radio, and in journalism classes and workshops. I have also mentored early- and mid-career science journalists through The Open Notebook and AAAS Mass Media Science & Engineering Fellowship. In addition to my work in journalism, I'm a proud long-time library associate at Teachers College, Columbia University.
You can check out my stories at places like Popular Science, Science Friday, School Library Journal, Scholastic MATH, IEEE Spectrum, Atlas Obscura, and more. I live in New York, but grew up in the heart of California—the San Joaquin Valley.
