From the Mouths of Ungulates...

11.1.2012  My lovely editor at Knopf, Andrew

Miller, has commissioned my book, EVE:

Evolution and the New Science of Womanhood

for release in early 2015.  He’s entirely brilliant

and I couldn’t be happier.  The book is about

the evolution of the female Homo sapiens and

all the wild new science around women’s bodies

going on right now.

11.27.2011  My brother’s talk is on the front

page of TED!  I was backstage being

generally helpful.  Check it out:

A Modest Proposal and TED’s Blog about

how it came to be.

10.23.2011  I’ll be performing onstage in

Brooklyn for the Story Collider series on

Wednesday, October 26 at 8 PM -- it’s a

Moth spinoff series on science stories:

10.1.2011  Yes, I’ve succumbed to Twitter.

9.25.2011  A recent review I did for Science Magazine: http://tinyurl.com/42ynflt

5.14.2011  Many have been asking for a copy of the story that went into the Best American anthology if they can’t get a hold of a copy...Though of course you should buy the book (Dave Eggers edited the thing!) you can find a copy of the essay here.

12.16.2010  Erez Lieberman Aiden’s lab, one of my favorite (and collaborative) zones up at Harvard, has just put out a fantastic paper in Science Magazine... Google Books and Cultural Analysis!  Check it out here with a news article on it here...

4.15.2010  They like me, they really like me!  Columbia gave my latest paper a fancy award--the “Robert John Bennett Memorial Award” for the “the best paper expressing original thought either in the field of comparative literature or between literature and such fields as science, music, and art” in all of the GSAS at Columbia. The paper, on flashbulb memory and its parallels in certain types of narrative, was a lot of fun to do.  It goes out for proper publication soon...

12.4.2009  I somehow ended up at the head of a rather giant group of writers and scientists here at Columbia, writing a review of a science-themed film festival here in New York.  Magic = trying to have a single article speak for a dozen voices!  Check out the film festival here, the article here and the Neuwrite page here...

11.1.2009  I interviewed neuroscientist and Nobel laureate Eric Kandel on stage at Rockefeller University tonight.  Though the event was broadcast, it wasn’t maintained in web presence!  A brief account, however, will appear in Science Magazine soon...

there’s no place like home...
