Los Angeles freelance science writer and editor
Will you be here next week? by Janice Nigro I suppose being a scientist all of my life and being trained ironically to adhere to the repetition of a so-called logical stepwise process (purpose, methods, results…repeat) has made me somewhat envious of more artistic types who can sit down and write a poetic sentence about...

Learning the art of collaboration by making pasta by Janice Nigro I grew up in the Midwest where winters are fairly brutal. So brutal that when I was moving to Norway from San Francsico and Norwegians joked about whether I needed some help with how to cope with winter, they became quiet when I told them...

Cuckcoo for coco loco by Janice Nigro I was creeping around the grocery store looking for my food fix…if you can believe it, it was for a yogurt. How did this happen, that I was looking both ways before stepping into the dairy aisle to casually put 10 Chobani flip Almond Coco Loco yogurt into... Continue Reading →
I am obsessed with so-called June gloom! I feel invisible on the beach in the very early mornings, and the photos are nearly black and white except for the lifeguard huts. I find it fun to enhance the color of the hut in the mist because there is no color in the background. Although you... Continue Reading →

When the LA woman is the GPS by Janice Nigro I do not have a car, and I live in Los Angeles. Everything happens in cars here, and the total number of hours you spend in a car just to get to work is not something you really want to calculate. Visiting friends are somewhat incredulous...

Back to being just Janice… by Janice Nigro I have thought many times that I should write a story about integration, oddly back into my own country. Except that I am still doing it, and I am not sure I would categorize it as a success. I had always wanted to live overseas. I thought... Continue Reading →
Reading the signs by Janice Nigro I don’t know what it means when you run into someone that you haven’t seen in 20 years in a place where neither of you ever are. Or when you hear the voice of a person in a big city museum that belongs to a cousin living two states... Continue Reading →
Nothing much happened today until about 19:00 when I saw these colors in the sky from my window. I ran with my camera just a bit late, but managed this sunset photo on the beach in LA. I really love these when the marine layer filters the sun so you can look directly at it... Continue Reading →
just two hours underwater by Janice Nigro I especially love the dive holidays where you can leave home in flip-flops and arrive at the dive destination in flip-flops (or slippahs where I went). Los Angeles to Maui is one version of the flip-flops only necessary dive holiday. I had a short trip ahead of me,... Continue Reading →
