       - "Carson is my guiding spirit. Like her, I went through an existential crisis in college over whether to study creative writing or biology, and like her I ended up doing both for awhile (I have a Ph.D. in ecology and a master’s degree in poetry) and finally brought the two together in my life as a full-time science writer. Like Carson, I seek to seduce my readers through some pretty tough science by finding a language beautiful and compelling enough to honor the loveliness of the biological systems that I write about. But Carson is also a counter-model for me. I write autobiographically about my own cancer diagnosis whereas she kept that part of her life a secret from her readers."

       - "When Jeff and I moved from Boston to a log cabin out in the woods near Ithaca, New York, our television set was stolen out of the back of the truck. We never replaced it. We did all our shopping at the local food coop not only because of the organic food but because the coop has a play area where kids can play while their parents drink much-needed cups of coffee and read the Arts section of The New York Times."
