Writer and contributing editor
San Francisco Bay Area
Elizabeth Svoboda makes a living convincing editors to let her write about stuff she thinks is cool or thought-provoking—think sales rep for ideas. The subjects she’s covered, limited only by her editors’ skepticism, include dinosaur track-based detective work, the connection between waterslides and chaos theory, and creationist biology classes in Galapagos schools. She grew up in the suburbs of Western New York and lives in San Jose, CA with her husband, Eric, a software engineer at Nvidia.
