IN MIC’S OWN WORDS…

At heart, I’m a generalist who embraces all challenges. I love diving into the complexities of black holes and then switching gears to learn what separates purseweb spiders from other arachnids. I enjoy working with editors to ensure the information we present is clear, accurate, and as interesting to others as it is to us.
