Lynne Peeples covers the intersection of the environment and public health at The Huffington Post. Previously, as a freelancer, she wrote for Audubon Magazine, Scientific American, Reuters Health, LiveScience, Popular Science, OnEarth, Health.com, Men's Health Online, Anesthesiology News, Pharmacy Practice News and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Her interests gravitate toward issues critical to the well-being of people and the planet--from promising public health and renewable energy projects near her home in New York City to conservation battles in her native Pacific Northwest. In 2009, she completed a master's in "Science, Health and Environmental Reporting" from New York University, where she was the editor-in-chief of the program's web magazine, Scienceline, and interned at Scientific American and Audubon Magazine. Before NYU, Lynne worked for Harvard University crunching numbers for HIV clinical trials and environmental health studies, while teaching an introductory biostatistics course. She also holds an M.S. in Biostatistics from Harvard and a B.A. in Mathematics from St. Olaf College.
