I teach first-year seminars through the Harvard College Writing Program, and my research interests include the development of the life and human sciences, the philosophy of science, epistemology, evolutionary theory, and environmental history. I have lectured on these subjects, and I also have taught classes focused on bioethics and relationships among science, art, and literature. I additionally have taught both writing and “Introduction to Graduate Studies in Biology” in the Harvard Summer School and have worked as an editor and workshop facilitator in Harvard Medical School’s Postgraduate Medical Education Program. I hold a doctorate in the history of science and technology from Johns Hopkins University, and my research has appeared in The History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences, The Journal of the History of Biology, and other venues. I worked on the editorial staff of the National Academy of Sciences before I started my doctorate.
