I recently graduated from Barnard College, Columbia University, where I double majored in History and Neuroscience. There, I wrote a thesis on aesthetics in mathematics and worked as a research assistant on a few book projects focused on global political and scientific histories.

Now, I write about science, how institutions must be built for it, and stories of the good ones. I’m also broadly interested in drug discovery, public health, talent mobility, research infrastructure, and the lives of excellent individuals. I draw heavily from historical precedents, and I’m excited to make good ideas from the past relevant today.

I have recently rediscovered a love for reading fiction and am slowly making my way through the French and Russian classics. I also watch a lot of indie movies, take many long walks, and enjoy sampling (and critiquing) the best sweet-treats wherever I happen to live.
