I am a professionally-trained scientist interested in cultural and scientific aspects of paranormal and Fortean topics. I do casual editing to add pertinent information to sites related to cryptozoology and anomalous phenomena with the intent to help people understand the basis for and credibility (or non-credibility) of these kinds of topics.
I have published several pieces in Fortean Times, Skeptical Inquirer, and on various blogs, and have written a book on the culture of paranormal research. I consider myself to be well-versed in these subjects and knowledgeable about both the believer and skeptical viewpoints.
