We are overjoyed to announce that Roberta Kwok has become the newest person of LWON (or LaWONian, as some of us like to say). You’ve seen her here before. Her first guest post explained how a study to detect traffic patterns gave investigators new insight into a fatal car crash. Elsewhere, she’s written about synthetic DNA, mysterious fossils, and how plants and animals get their shapes. Her 2009 narrative about some astronomers who tracked a meteorite in real time won the the American Geophysical Union’s Walter Sullivan Award for Excellence in Science Journalism. A person of many talents, Roberta also writes beautiful fiction and she once worked as a software engineer in Silicon Valley. We’re especially grateful for her computer savvy, since she has agreed to help keep the technology behind LWON running smoothly. Roberta hails from Calgary but recently relocated from northern California to Seattle, where she’s trying not to think about the coming rainy season.
Welcome, Roberta!
