I’m Brandon Keim, a freelance journalist specializing in science, environment and culture (and generalizing in biology, history, nature, sustainability, technology, anthropology, policy, ethics and medicine.) 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. A book project on ecological tipping points is in temporary storage.

Born and raised in Bangor, Maine, I now move between there and Brooklyn, where I’m perpetually amazed at the ability of life to thrive in unexpected places. This site is part signpost, part ongoing ball of lint.
