About

Hello! I'm a journalist and computer programmer based in New York City, where I work for the Wall Street Journal.

Previously, I worked for Slate magazine, where I developed data-driven journalism projects, edited the magazine's environmental coverage, and wrote for the "Explainer" column.

May 2009 through November 2010, I also wrote the "Research Report", a biweekly Wall Street Journal column about recent medical studies.
