This Just In: UNLV Articles

Bet you never thought flashy celebrity chef Guy Fieri had anything in common with a university think tank. But think again: I’ve written about both for UNLV Magazine, the official magazine of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas — not to mention many more news and feature articles about their alumni, research, faculty, and students.

I’ve just added a new page with links to work I’ve published in UNLV Magazine. These stories are among the most memorable and satisfying I’ve ever done. I’ve interviewed researchers whose work is sometimes revolutionary, sometimes quirky, and almost always fascinating. Did you know honeybees can teach us about stress? Or that shoe companies design kids’ sneakers based on adult feet? I’ve gotten to know, briefly, some accomplished alumni: luxury resort managers, successful entrepreneurs, even a rock star.

The near-year I spent working at UNLV was one of my all-time favorite jobs. I had to give it up when we moved back to Kansas, but I continued as a freelancer for them, which opened the door to the next iteration of my career.

You see, going to college really does take you places.
