Perri Thaler is a freelance science journalist from New York City. She studied astronomy and economics at Cornell University before working in space policy and technology at NASA, and then researching paleomagnetism at Harvard University. She is most passionate about space (particularly planetary science and the search for life on other planets), but is also profoundly curious about other science and tech topics. She's particularly captivated by secondary problems that modern technologies inadvertently cause. She also loves to get lost in a classic dystopian sci-fi book.
