Maryn McKenna

 

I’m a journalist and author specializing in infectious disease, public health, global health

and food policy.


I blog for Wired and write for national magazines and a major medical journal.


I wrote the new book

SUPERBUG

about the international epidemic

of drug-resistant staph

and an earlier book

BEATING BACK THE DEVIL

about the CDC’s disease detectives.


I teach journalists how to write about science and scientists how to understand journalists.


I’m on Twitter and Tumblr.


I take my own photographs.
