She is a senior science editor at FiveThirtyEight and was previously a science editor at Boing Boing and a monthly columnist for The New York Times Magazine. Koerth-Baker is the author of the 2012 book Before the Lights Go Out: Conquering the Energy Crisis Before It Conquers Us.

Background

Born in Kansas, Koerth-Baker now lives in Minneapolis with her husband.[1] Koerth-Baker studied journalism and anthropology at the University of Kansas.[2]

Career

In 2009, Koerth-Baker co-authored the book Be Amazing: Glow in the Dark, Control the Weather, Perform Your Own Surgery, Get Out of Jury Duty, Identify a Witch, Colonize a Nation, Impress a Girl, Make a Zombie, Start Your Own Religion with Will Pearson and Mangesh Hattikudur, the co-founders of Mental Floss.[3] The book was described as "a tongue-in-cheek self-improvement guide".[3] Koerth-Baker was an assistant editor at Mental Floss.[4]

She later joined Boing Boing, where she specialized in science blogging and was known for her ability to explain science coherently and understandably while keeping it interesting.[5][6] A piece Koerth-Baker wrote for Boing Boing in the wake of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster explaining nuclear power plant operations was featured in the anthology The Best Science Writing Online 2012.[7]

In June 2012, Koerth-Baker suffered a miscarriage. She wrote about her experiences with the social expectations and medical regulation surrounding abortions and miscarriage in a series of blog entries.[8][9][10]

Beginning in August 2012, Koerth-Baker wrote "Eureka", a monthly column for The New York Times about research of interest to the layperson at the intersection of science, technology, and culture.[11][3][12] She has also contributed to Discover, Popular Science, New Scientist, Scientific American, and National Geographic.[15][3]

In 2012, Koerth-Baker published Before the Lights Go Out: Conquering the Energy Crisis Before It Conquers Us, a book about the complexity of energy systems in the United States, the roadblocks to change, and the possibility of doing things differently.[13]

In 2016 Koerth-Baker began working for FiveThirtyEight as a senior science editor.[14]

Awards

In June 2014, Koerth-Baker was named one of two Nieman-Berkman Fellows in journalism innovation at Harvard University.[15] In 2017, she won the American Meteorological Society's Award for Distinguished Science Journalism in the Atmospheric and Related Sciences.[16]

Carl Zimmer has called her "one of the most innovative science writers at work today."[17]
