Hi, I'm Catherine. I help people scroll less, live more, and have fun. I’m a science journalist, speaker, teacher, consultant, and the author of books including The Power of Fun: How to Feel Alive Again (The Dial Press, 2021), How to Break Up With Your Phone (Ten Speed Press, 2018) and Vitamania: How Vitamins Revolutionized the Way We Think About Food (Penguin Press 2015). My work has appeared in publications including The Best American Science Writing, The New York Times, Popular Science, O, The Oprah Magazine, The Los Angeles Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Washington Post Magazine, Parade, Salon, Slate, Men’s Journal, Self, Medium, Health Magazine, and Outside, among others. (Check out the Clips page for samples.) I’m passionate about using my background as a science journalist to help people question their assumptions, make positive changes in their lives, and see mundane things (e.g. fun, phones, vitamins) in an interesting and more philosophical light. The more fun I can have while doing so, the better. I’m also the founder of ScreenLifeBalance.com, a resource hub dedicated to helping people create more intentional relationships with technology and reconnect with what really matters to them in life.
