Who is this Virginia Hughes?
I am a freelance writer who reads, writes, thinks and gushes about a hodgepodge of (mostly scientific) ideas—autism, drugs, energy, genes, human behavior, and space, just to name a few in alphabetical order.
I live in New York City, the world’s greatest. I work as the community manager of Seed Media Group’s blogging network, ScienceBlogs. (You should go ahead and click that link because those bloggers churn out some intriguing stuff.) I’m also a writer at the Smithsonian’s blog, The Gist, and the managing editor of a small peer-reviewed journal, Scientific Review of Mental Health Practice, published by the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry.
I received a B.S. degree in neuroscience from Brown in 2005, and an M.A. in science writing from Johns Hopkins in 2006. (My Brown degree was not, as is commonly assumed, made of hemp.)
