I'm ​Becca Dzombak (she/her, pronounced "duh-zom-back"), a science writer and editor with a Ph.D. in Earth & Environmental Sciences. I write to make academic research accessible for anyone who's curious, not only for people with advanced degrees, and to keep science grounded in society. And because I get to keep learning, continually, about new things!

​

I'm interested in writing stories about people and the natural world, from sustainable agriculture and environmental impacts of climate change to our planet's past and what floats beyond our atmosphere. I strive to center voices that historically have been excluded from both science and science stories.

​

I'm originally from Michigan but am living in western Washington state. I'm a sailor with two cats (only one of whom has joined us on the water).​
