Hi. I’m Katherine, an award-winning science journalist. My stories focus mostly on earth and space science, but I also take forays into biology. My work has appeared in Science, Scientific American, The New York Times, Discover, and Eos, among others.

Feel free to reach out–I’m always interested in hearing about story ideas, science communication opportunities, or simply that astronomy question that’s been bugging you for years.
