Susan E. Matthews

I’m a Brooklyn-based journalist. I write about health, the environment and technology. I also make data-driven graphics.
I’m currently a fellow at Popular Science, and I just received my master’s degree in journalism from NYU. I started my journalism career as editor-in-chief of Dartmouth College’s daily paper, and later decided to focus on science journalism. You can learn more by taking a glance at my resume, and some of my work, below.
