- I write about science, with a particular penchant for marine biology. I also write science fiction and fantasy. Sometimes I write for grown-ups and sometimes I write for kids.
I also make art, mostly comics. Also technical illustrations, calligraphy, and origami.
And I talk about all these things to all kinds of audiences.
For my PhD, I studied baby squid at Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University. Before that, I got a BA in Biology from the College of Creative Studies of the University of California, Santa Barbara.
I live in San Jose, California, with my husband, kids, cats, and plants. You can also find me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
My name rhymes with Banana Cough.

Short but beautiful, a semi biography of one of the inventors of the aquarium, including some of her early work with the nautilus.Wish must of her papers had not been lost at sea, but what remained was still very interesting
wasn't sure if I'd enjoy this, as it focuses largely on extinct cephalopods and my interest lies with the living The author kept it lively and entertaining , always maintaining the link to the modern animals, though, so I learned a lot and had fun doing it
