About me
|
I'm a staff writer at Pacific Standard and a science journalist by training. You can find my resume here.
Before I began writing, I spent a summer learning how traditional Chinese medicine is taught and used in Hangzhou; a year tutoring kids in Mar Vista Gardens and other public housing in Los Angeles; and two years volunteering at a San Fernando Valley hospital, where I watched births, surgeries, and many other procedures. I know I'm calm in the face of emergencies and a lot of blood. If you're looking at this page on a large enough screen, you'll see a grainy grayscale image at the top. That's an electron micrograph of the interior of a cell. I believe the image was made by members of this National Institutes of Health lab. Contact me fcdiep // at // gmail @franciediep |
