I'm Brandon Keim, a freelance journalist specializing in science, technology and culture.

Since March 2007 I've written for Wired.com's award-winning Wired Science. My work has also appeared in Adbusters, the Christian Science Monitor, USA Today, ABC News, Seed, Psychology Today and Nature Medicine.

I've made broadcast appearances on NPR's Science Friday and Here & Now, BBC's World Have Your Say, CBC's As It Happens, Animal Planet and G4's Attack of the Show.

Born and raised in Bangor, Maine, I now live in Brooklyn, where I'm perpetually amazed at the ability of nature to thrive in unexpected places (not to mention the propensity of people to frequent the car wash outside my apartment at 4 a.m.) My blog is at earthlab.net.
