Dude.
My name is Darren and I am a science writer and journalist. I write about science for places like Scientific American, Science News, and The New York Times. I write funny things for places like Reductress, and have also written and performed sketch comedy. Wow! That’s a lot of writing.
My main journalistic focus is biodiversity, especially animals, and extra-especially invertebrates. You can find examples of the kinds of stories I like to write below. If you’re a superfan and want all of my bylines, you can find them here.
Feel free to reach out with story tips, praise, or offers to give me large sums of money: darrenincorvaia@gmail.com
