Hi! I'm a journalist, musician, Great Lakes enjoyer and recent Heartstopper convert. I mostly write on subjects relating to digital culture, podcasts, journalism, music, and theater, but I also love to obliterate a misused comma!

• 
  I read the Wikipedia article on guard geese on a train from Amsterdam to Paris.
• 
  Despite my username, I am not very good at science (but I do like pasta).
• 
  I enjoy indie crosswords. Try one!
