I’ve done some writing for the Rocky Mountain Institute this year, which I’ve enjoyed because a) I have a ton of respect for Amory Lovins and his organization’s work (Natural Capitalism and Reinventing Fire being a couple of...
The number 54.7 is a big part of the reason the United States did as well as it did in the 2014 World Cup. Tim Howard’s otherworldly number of saves (16 against Belgium, a probable record) being another important one. But 54.7 is how many...
Not long after my Mashable story on the world’s greatest drug test posted, my former Daily Camera colleague Alicia Wallace — now the business editor there — touched base. Would I be interested in doing a Q&A for Arizona...
After finishing up my moderating duties at Compliance Week 2014, I put on my running stuff and headed to the National Mall, destination National Air and Space Museum. The aim was to see something very specific, an instrument brought back from the...

I write quite a bit for UCH Insider, the University of Colorado Hospital’s biweekly online magazine. Late in the game last cycle, folks in Anesthesiology mentioned that one of their docs had a daughter skiing in the Olympics. Oh, we said...
The New Yorker’s Rachel Aviv did a great investigative piece on the tactics Swiss agrochemical giant Syngenta (once part of Novartis) has used to discredit scientists – UC Berkeley’s Tyrone Hayes in particular – whose studies show their products...
1. Russia’s intransigence surrounding the growing humanitarian catastrophe in Syria is of far greater geopolitical importance than anything happening at Sochi. 2. Russia’s role in the ongoing unrest in Ukraine is of far greater geopolitical...
