my profile
contact: wanjek@nasw.org
I am a freelance health and science writer based in Washington, D.C. My expertise is in health, medicine, environmental sciences, physics and astronomy.
I hold a master’s of science degree from Harvard School of Public Health and a degree in journalism from Temple University.
I am the author of two books, Food At Work (2005) and Bad Medicine (2003). I have also written over 300 newspaper, magazine and web articles for periodicals such as The Washington Post and Smithsonian Magazine. I am a columnist for LiveScience and for Mercury magazine.
My work has been translated into nearly a dozen languages. Copies or sections of Food At Work are available in French, Spanish and Portuguese.
Through ongoing contracts with NASA and the National Institutes of Health, I remain deeply connected to the latest breakthroughs in astrophysics and health, and I have a proven record of relaying the excitement of these discoveries to the public.
