I am an award-winning journalist and the author of two three books: my upcoming memoir, Brassy Broad: How one Journalist helped pave the way to #MeToo (due out in September); Getting Screwed, Sex Workers and the Law (2015) and Side Effects: A Prosecutor, a Whistleblower and a Bestselling Antidepressant on Trial. (2008). Side Effects received the prestigious National Association of Science Writers’ Science in Society Award and the film rights to Side Effects have been optioned. I recently retired as Associate Professor of Journalism at West Virginia University. I was a long-time science and medical writer for The Boston Globe and a series I wrote for The Globe was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in the Public Service category. My articles and essays have also appeared in The Los Angeles Times, Buzzfeed, The Village Voice, Psychology Today, and numerous other media. I have received a number of journalism awards for my work, including an Alicia Patterson Fellowship and the Top Media Award from the National Mental Health Association.
