Welcome to my online portfolio linking together the scholarly and professional writing I have done to date, ranging from the history of science to the evolution of human and nonhuman primate behavior. My blog, The Primate Diaries, is hosted by Scientific American, and I am a regular columnist for the online magazine Slate. My writing has also appeared in Times Higher Education, Discover, Wildlife Conservation, and Wired.com, among others.
My Slate article “Promiscuity is Pragmatic” was selected as the Top Quark in the 3 Quarks Daily Science Prize. I am very grateful to Frans de Waal, the 3 Quarks Daily editors, and everyone who voted for my post.
