Lucas Laursen

I am a journalist covering global development by way of science and technology. I have experience conducting and collaborating on investigations, writing narrative features, and developing data visualizations, in addition to reporting news to tight deadlines. Outside journalism, I translate Spanish to English and do native English editing of scientific and academic texts.

I am a contributing editor at IEEE Spectrum Magazine, and have written for Scientific American, Rethink, and many other magazines:

I have lived in and reported from the US, UK, Switzerland, Mexico, and now Spain. I’ve been a freelance journalist since 2007.  I took short breaks to intern at Nature and play archaeologist. Before that I studied astrophysics at Harvard and spent a few summers writing for the Let’s Go travel guidebooks.
