Hi, I'm Becky!
I'm  a science writer based in Ithaca, New York. 

My book FIRST CONTACT: The Story of Our Obsession with Aliens was published by Workman Publishing on September 30, 2025. Buy a copy from the Hachette, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Powells.

I am a regular contributor to the journalist-founded site 404 Media, where I write the weekly science newsletter the Abstract.

​I also write my own newsletter, The BeX Files, which covers science, culture, and more.

I have bylines in The New York Times, WIRED, MIT Technology Review, National Geographic, 
Motherboard, Supercluster, and many more.  I have appeared as an expert guest on the Science Channel and hosted the Motherboard video series "Space Show."
