I’m a longtime reporter, a sometime author, a full-time teacher and a one-time scientist. My persistent interests include ecology and conservation, evolution and extinction, food production, warfare, and geography. Writing is the only way I know to keep track of them all. I live in San Francisco and dream of Saskatoon. Book Website. Twitter.
