Happy to share an article I wrote for the NYT on exercise & aging. The gist: find what motivates you, mix things up for interest, commit to being active -- your body (& mind) will thank you. Thanks so much, Erik Vance, for the assignment and helpful edits. tinyurl.com/c6ed79df

Really great advice that's applicable for anyone trying to save for a secure future -- congrats on another fantastic piece, Juli!

Watching my story's Moksha queue position is a writer's version of watching a pot as it boils (or doesn't!) ;) Still, I appreciate the transparency!!

If you're not exercising, the solution may be in your head, not your body. Thanks, Erik Vance, for the opportunity to explore a fun topic and the always great-edits. nytimes.com/2023/05/26/wel…

My latest for Popular Mechanics on the health impacts of social isolation. Researching the many ways isolation and loneliness messes us up was eye-opening. Message me if you hit a paywall, but would like to read: popularmechanics.com/science/health…

And in the creepy crawly department -- my latest for National Geographic digital on mosquitoes and what it is about us that's so enticing for them: nationalgeographic.com/premium/articl…

I had forgotten how unwelcoming Newark airport was… flight canceled because of the storm…stuck here until tomorrow night. Loooong rebooking line.

Is it possible to do a day (or actually night) trip to Yosemite? And if so, are there good places to stargaze that are easily accessible there?

This was a beautiful, heartfelt read -- many of the women in my family have autoimmune issues, so this really hit home. I'm sorry it took you so long to prioritize yourself in the name of performing wellness. & thank u for writing about it -- it'll help so many in similar boats.

This gorgeous piece by kat chow really captures the frustration, heartbreak, and backbreaking toil it takes to try to pass along a heritage language you barely speak yourself to the next generation. But also, why it matters: theatlantic.com/family/archive…

When we lived in Ithaca and drove a lot to visit my aunt and uncle in Rochester, we'd encounter deer a lot -- and it was always so sad to see their carcasses pile up in the fall/winter months. So it was good to explore tech that can help for Pop Mech: tinyurl.com/bfb2m5sj

I just misread "rise of teletherapy" as "rise of telepathy" in a PR pitch. Too bad -- an article about telepathy would've been fun!

Over a year in the making (for me), and my first byline in the Atlantic, a story about the ingenuity of developmental psychologists in the face of pandemic-era shutdowns: theatlantic.com/family/archive…

Can I indulge in a little mom-brag? My 10-year old is one of the winners in Inklings' fiction contest. The prize is editorial feedback/revision for publication in their anthology. I'm not ashamed to admit that part of me is envious: He's going to publish fiction earlier than me!

Reach out to Brijana Prooker if you have a story to share - she is a lovely writer and a crackin’ good storyteller, your story would be in safe, capable hands.

It was a honor writing about these health insurance stories for the New York Times. Thanks @JessamynStan @iangoldsteinyes and others for talking to me: nytimes.com/2024/07/10/bus…

Somewhere, tween-nerd me is squeeing because I got to write about fanfiction and sci-fi/super-hero shows for The New York Times today: nytimes.com/2025/05/03/art…
