Do not try this at home.

I'm 30. I'm from Boston. I live in New York. I have a B.S. in cognitive neuroscience from Brown and an M.S. in science journalism from MIT. I am the News Editor at Psychology Today.

Why SilverJacket? In high school, I bought a silver metallic fireproof jacket for $15 from an Army/Navy guy at a flea market. I wore it for several years as my winter jacket. People came to know me by it.

There is footage online (from January 1997) of me torching my silver jacket while wearing it. If you ask nicely I will send you a link.

[P.S. The snapshot I'm currently using as my profile pic was taken by Jay Dixit.]
