JoAnna Klein is a science journalist who was previously based in Brooklyn but now lives in Raleigh, North Carolina. She works as a fact-checker for Noema Magazine. She’s written for Inverse, The New York Times, Newsweek, and Motherboard.

In a previous life, JoAnna studied how the brain makes and breaks fearful memories. Right now, she's really into how people interact with their environments, and she wonders how the future will change that. She hopes one day to employ her Boston Terrier as a TV dog or coyote detective.
