Christie is someone I’ve known since Middle School, and it’s been fascinating watching her career since we left college. She’s written for many publications, including the BBC, Health, Smithsonian, and Slate.
What do you do?
I’m a freelance science writer. I’m a journalist, but I also do storywriting that is less journalism and more personal.
On a basic level, I’m a storyteller. For some of the stuff I write, I take research and translate it into something that a lay audience can understand. That can be a news story about a new piece of science that has come up, or a new piece of the puzzle, and I describe that new piece, kind of putting it together with the existing stuff.
