Biography:
I am a science writer, stem cell blogger, and PhD graduate student in the department of molecular, cellular, and developmental biology at the University of California at Santa Barbara, where I study stem cells. I have a weekly biology column with The Santa Barbara Independent, called "Biology Bytes," which can be found at http://www.independent.com/bio. My stem cell blog, "All Things Stem Cell," can be found at http://www.AllThingsStemCell.com. I am always on the lookout for interesting science writing opportunities!
