Talia Sepersky - Sophie Figgis
I am a 2008 graduate of Wellesley College, where I earned my Bachelor's in astrophysics. A year later I earned my Master's in science writing from Johns Hopkins University. Don't let the astrophysics degree fool you--I love learning and writing about a wide variety of topics, both within the realm of science and without.
