I look like this

Hello there! My name is Bennett McIntosh. I am a freelance science writer based in Boston, MA. The website you're looking at hosts and links to much of my science writing, assorted columns, essays and blog posts, and selected poetry.

Before going freelance, I wrote in-house for the Hertz Foundation, where I got to cover exciting research from the picoscale physics of SCUBA-diving flies to CRISPR-based viral diagnostics. I have previously written in-house for Princeton University and the University of California, San Francisco, and have bylines in NOVA Next and Princeton Alumni Weekly, among others.

I studied Chemistry at Princeton and then Science Writing at MIT. My research on protein structure and function at Princeton took me to labs in two regions known chiefly for being the southern part of something: Sussex (Brighton, UK) and South Bohemia (Nové Hrady, CZ); back at Princeton I wrote a thesis on a designed library of proteins advised by Michael Hecht.

I am originally from Littleton, Colorado. I express my nostalgia for the Centennial State by occasionally walking up very tall hills and by making my own hot sauce.
