  • About Me

    I've worked as a journalist since I was 13, most recently as a senior writer covering health and medicine for US News & World Report. I launched the OnParenting blog for US News, and am fascinated by how genes and our social world collide and make us who we are. 

    In the past year I've become fascinated with how social media is transforming how we talk with each other. I speak often on how journalists and scientists can use social media to make their lives easier in just 10 minutes a day. OK, OK, make that 20 minutes. Follow me on Twitter @nancyshute.

    I teach writing and journalism at Johns Hopkins University's Advanced Academic Program, and am developing a new course for JHU on how writers can use today's cheap, powerful multimedia tools to gain control of the publishing process.  What should the course include? Please give me your advice!

    In real life, I'm a nerdy homebody: wife and mom who loves gardening, bicycling, cooking, and playing bocce in the back yard with the neighbors. Come by and play!
