Background

About Raphael Rosen

I am a science writer at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, where I write news releases based on research papers dealing with plasma physics and fusion energy. I caught the science writing bug while working at the Exploratorium — San Francisco’s hands-on museum of science, art, and human perception. There I was inspired by the way the Exploratorium’s exhibits communicated science ideas clearly and in a down-to-earth fashion. In the past I have written for the NASA Spitzer Space Telescope mission, as well as for Space.com, where I explored the aesthetics of space telescope images and covered recent research news in the space community. I wrote about arts and cultural events for the Wall Street Journal and interviewed paleontologist James Horner for a piece about fossil auctions that ran in EARTH magazine. I also wrote a story about Mayfield Parrish’s lavishly illustrated undergraduate chemistry notebook for SciArt in America and contributed short news items to Science World. I have also authored two books: Space (part of the Read, Search, and Find series) and Math Geek, which explores how you can find math in everyday life. In addition, I have written white-paper-type content for various marketing campaigns on a variety of topics, and regularly participate in marketing campaigns for NYU Langone Hospital.
