Jordan Lite

I am a writer and journalist specializing in health. I spent five years covering medicine for the New York Daily News, and prior to that was a general assignment reporter for the Associated Press, first in Des Moines and then San Francisco. I most recently was the lead writer for Scientific American’s news blog, 60-Second Science. My freelance work has been published in Newsweek, The Nation, Prevention, SELF, Scientific American MIND, Psychology Today, Miller-McCune (now Pacific Standard), Wired News, GOOD, AOL Health and iVillage, among other publications. I have also edited and written for various institutional, nonprofit and custom publications.

I graduated with honors in biomedical ethics from Brown University, where I focused on the ethics of mandatory HIV testing of newborns. I am now an MPH candidate studying the history and ethics of public health.
