Dave Mosher
Science Journalist, Web Nerd
Wielding science and journalism degrees -- along with experience on the frontlines and a deep obsession with the Internet -- Dave Mosher brings the often intangible world of science into the realm of readers as a jack-of-all-trades editor, writer, photographer, Web producer, developer, designer and bona fide nerd.
Mosher presently manages and helps develop the Simons Foundation's Web site on a full-time basis, but is available for freelance and consulting opportunities.
Prior to working for the Simons Foundation, Mosher produced the Discovery Channel's exclusive knowledge site about space called Discovery Space. While in the journalistic trenches with Imaginova Corp. as a SPACE.com and LiveScience.com staff writer, Mosher wrote breaking news and features, covered NASA's spaceflight programs, developed multimedia content, and pestered countless scientists and researchers for interviews.
Mosher cut his teeth writing with The Lantern, The Ohio State University's student-run newspaper, where he launched its first-ever science section. After working on staff for a year as a writer, photographer, editor and teaching assistant, he joined the Fermilab public affairs office as an intern. In addition to reporting daily news for the world's largest particle physics laboratory, Mosher also contributed to symmetry magazine.
During a Web internship at DISCOVER magazine, Mosher wrote stories for more than 6 million pairs of eyes while helping produce DISCOVER's Web site. He also worked with Research Communications at Ohio State — one of the nation's top-ten public research institutions — to cultivate an inside understanding of the mysterious world of public information.
When he's not plugging away at work, Dave Mosher works the lens of a Nikon D70 (soon-to-be D700), fiddles around on an old acoustic guitar, and sacrifices his dignity for the laughter of friends.
He currently resides in New York City, where he helps support the lifestyles of real estate owners with mortgage-sized rent checks.
