Popular Science Pieces and Profiles

I try to talk to you, to make things clear
These are the published, commercial articles I've written, trying to explain scientific ideas to non-scientists. Mostly they're either reports on scientific meetings, or profiles of particular people. Somehow it's mostly ended up being economics, i.e., where I have no qualifications whatsoever. I hope the results are of some use to the people who read them, and not too painful for those I write about. I do this partly because it's fun, but mostly because it pays very well for the amount of actual effort involved. (Editors: I am usually available and always willing to listen to proposals.)
