I write about science, with a particular penchant for marine biology. I also write science fiction and fantasy. Sometimes I write for grown-ups and sometimes I write for kids.I also make art, mostly comics. Also technical illustrations, calligraphy, and origami.
And I talk about all these things to all kinds of audiences.
For my PhD, I studied baby squid at Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University. Before that, I got a BA in Biology from the College of Creative Studies of the University of California, Santa Barbara.
I live in San Jose, California, with my husband, kids, cats, and plants. You can also find me on Twitter and Facebook.
My name rhymes with Banana Cough.
