July 31 & August 1: Black Bears @ Cades Cove



This is a yearling -- many mistakenly thought it was a baby with an unseen mother lurking nearby. Too many people gathered around, eventually spooking the bear and sending him packing ...



As you can see, these bears are very fast. I later watched this bear climb a tree, ascending 15-20 feet in a matter of seconds.



A larger bear rocks a tree branch back and forth.

About Me

I am a researcher, reporter and conference producer with experience spanning the aerospace & defense, biopharma, chemical, consumer electronics, energy, homeland security, human resources and IT markets.

I have an M.S. in science and medical journalism from Boston University (Dec 2008) and did my undergraduate work at Indiana University, majoring in journalism and political science (May 2001). After interning for the Chicago Tribune as a collegian, I landed my first real gig in the Windy City: I was a senior technology writer for I-Street magazine (Sept 2001-Feb 2003). I covered nanotech and biotech startups. From March-November 2003, I worked for a newsletter publisher (Exchange Monitor Publications) in DC, covering congressional hearings, the NRC & DHS.
