Emily Gertz

I'm a journalist and editor covering the environment, wildlife, and science. I currently work at TakePart.com, the digital news arm of Participant Media. Prior to joining Participant in late 2014, I was a longtime freelancer for both online and print publications including The Guardian, Popular Mechanics, OnEarth, and others. I contributed to the books "Worldchanging: A Users Guide for the 21st Century," and "The Science Writers' Handbook." I am co-author with Patrick Di Justo of "Environmental Monitoring With Arduino," and "Atmospheric Monitoring With Arduino." With Jesse Harrington Au, I am co-author of "3D CAD with Autodesk 123D." (Note: Jesse is the 3D design expert, while I contributed technical writing chops.)
