I’m Brandon Keim, a freelance journalist specializing in science, technology and culture. Since March 2007 I’ve written for Wired.com’s award-winning Wired Science. My work has also appeared in Adbusters, Reuters, USA Today, Christian Science Monitor, ABC News, Seed, Psychology Today, Stanford Social Innovation Review, Proto, Momentum and Nature Medicine. I’ve made broadcast appearances on NPR’s Science Friday and Here & Now, BBC’s World Have Your Say, CBC’s As It Happens, Animal Planet and G4’s Attack of the Show. I’m also working on a book about ecological tipping points.
Born and raised in Bangor, Maine, I now move between there and Brooklyn, where I’m perpetually amazed at the ability of nature to thrive in unexpected places (not to mention the propensity of people to frequent the car wash outside my apartment at 4 a.m.) This blog is part signpost, part ongoing ball of lint.
