Dude.
My name is Darren and I am a science journalist. I’m currently a staff writer for Fierce Biotech, where I cover drug development. I also 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.
I’m broadly interested in science, health, and the environment, but I have a special place in my heart for invertebrate animals. 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. If you’ve got an inside biotech scoop, email me here: dincorvaia@questex.com
Otherwise, use my personal email: darrenincorvaia@gmail.com
