About

I write for kids and young adults, mostly about science, nature, and most recently 3D printing.

A microbiologist by training, I worked at NASA for 13 years in the biomedical sciences divisioon. Very cool! Now I write science and technology books in easy to understand language so everyone can enjoy science.

To accommodate the quirky and fun side of my creativity, I write children's fiction as Quinn Cole.
