Mosher is a jack-of-all-trades science journalist, writer, photographer, editor, producer, administrator and a bonafide nerd. He aspires to continue building his skills in Web development and design.

Mosher presently maintains the Simons Foundation's websites on a full-time basis, but is available for select freelance journalism and Web-related opportunities.

The skinny:

  • launched and produced Discovery Space, the Discovery Channel's first exclusive multimedia content hub about space and astronomy
  • wrote breaking news and features, covered NASA's human and robotic spaceflight programs, developed multimedia content and pestered countless scientists and researchers for interviews as a staff writer for SPACE.com and LiveScience.com
  • crafted articles for more than 6 million pairs of eyes while assisting with DISCOVER magazine's website production
  • worked with Research Communications at Ohio State — one of the nation's top-ten public research institutions — to cultivate an inside understanding of the public information world
  • interned with Fermilab public affairs, where he reported daily news for the world's (then) largest particle physics laboratory and contributed to symmetry magazine
  • broke into journalism as a writer, photographer, editor and teaching assistant for The Lantern, The Ohio State University's student-run newspaper, where he launched its first-ever science section
