Jessica Ruvinsky, Ph.D., is a field biologist who has rotted leaves in Costa Rica, trapped rats in California, and hunted flowers in the Rockies. This led to a doctorate from Stanford and a deep respect for floral obscenity. In college at Yale she sang with the Slavic Chorus, did ethnobotany in Belize, and backpacked through California. Her writing career started with the AAAS Mass Media Fellowship in 2002. She was on staff at DISCOVER magazine for three years, where she edited the reviews section until September, and is currently freelancing in New York.
