Chicago Tribune
I wrote these during my time as the AAAS Mass Media Fellow for the Chicago Tribune. These are a few of my favorite pieces. Below are links from the Tribune's archives in boring web versions. To read each story in all its original newspaper glory, check out the PDFs. You may notice the print headlines may be different from the web versions—the wonders of the newspaper business never cease.

Per Square Mile
Per Square Mile is a blog about density. It’s about what happens when people live like packed sardines. It’s also about what happens when people live so far apart they can go days without seeing another soul. It’s about living amongst trees and prairies, and living in places miles away from them. It’s about the trees and the prairies, too. And lakes and streams and animals and insects. In short, it is a blog about density of all types.
Kellogg Insight
Curious about how testosterone affects our financial decisions? Ever wonder what a "peso event" is? Head over to the Kellogg Insight, the Kellogg School of Management's online research magazine. Kellogg not only cranks out research by the boatload, they also employ me as Insight's editor to keep everyone abreast of it.
Expertly Wrapped
University faculty are fonts of useful knowledge. I started Expertly Wrapped to bring Kellogg Shool of Management faculty perspectives and research findings to bear on the news. I'll slip in my own expertise from time to time, too.
Scidle.com
While the Internet has become the place for every story, I wanted there to be a site where every story was tied to a place. Well every science story, at least. So I started a blog called Scidle.
