My 93-year-old father passed away last November. He died shortly after he looked up at me and said: "I'm so happy.” Check out my essay about my quest to find out what he meant, especially at this unsettled moment in history when happiness seems so elusive.

My latest Futures column is about a man living in the future. He’s working to reverse aging, transplant pig organs into people, deextinct wooly mammoths, bioengineer DNA and cells to fight disease, + more. George Church is turning SciFi into reality.

My latest “Futures” column is up. It’s about legendary soprano Renee Fleming’s new book on music and the brain and her views about the future - and why our brains need and crave music at a moment when we’re all feeling anxious about the future.

My latest "Futures" column is out. "Robot-Human Hybrids Are Here"—about next gen exoskeleton tech and an "exonaut" whose spine was severed in a crash who can walk again—also about the possibility of wearable robo-enhancements for everyone in the future.

My article in Sci Am on an aspect of climate change few know about - the devastating impact on Earth’s microbiome. My new book is out next week (co-authored with Craig Venter) on this and on Craig’s work revolutionizing what we know about Planet Microbe.

We rightly fret about climate change’s impact on polar bears, plovers, and coral reefs that we can see. What about the invisible world of microbes connecting life on Earth that number more than all stars in the universe? More in my Vanity Fair story.
