“I’m a freelance science and environmental journalist based in western Colorado, between the foothills of the Rockies and the redrock canyons of southern Utah. (If you’re wondering about my last name, it’s pronounced “Nye-house.”)
“I’m proud to be a contributing editor of the environmental journal High Country News—a scrappy institution that turns its shoestring budget into some of the West’s finest journalism—and a correspondent for the lovely and wise environmental magazine Orion. My work has appeared in many other publications including National Geographic, Smithsonian, The Christian Science Monitor, and Audubon, and on NPR’s All Things Considered. A lapsed ecologist, I focus on long-form narrative stories about conservation and global change, but I’ve covered subjects ranging from border security to wrestling.”
