I'm a 25-year-old science and medical reporter on staff at U.S. News & World Report. I primarily cover environmental and men's health for U.S. News, though I routinely write about other topics as well. This database tracks my recent work and includes, for example, stories on proton beam therapy, prostate cancer, ultrafine particulate pollution, and myths about bicycle commuting. Previously, I've written about science for Mote Marine Laboratory, Popular Science, Alternative Energy Retailer, and Inside Brown on topics such as mars, genomics, and marine biology. I first began freelancing for Historic Deerfield in high school, and I still take great pleasure in digging through dusty archives for stories such as these ones about the great flood of 1936, Clement Moore, and never realized flying cars. I live in Washington, DC at the moment, a few metro stops away from where my girlfriend (the painter who created the illustration on the home page of this site) went to middle school. Originally, however, I hail from Western Massachusetts, and I have also spent sizable chunks of time in Japan (teaching English), Providence (going to college), Chicago (living in my brother's closet), Florida (studying charismatic marine creatures), and New York City (researchering gadgets). I graduated in 2005 from Brown University where I majored in geology-biology. Like most people, I have parents. Mine own a heating and cooling company and gave me one farmer brother, one architect brother, and one younger sister, who doesn't yet have a website, but who you can read about here. Should you be curious, my hobbies include: swiping cards at Sport and Health, biking, and traveling. I welcome your emails at adam.voiland@gmail.com.
