Hi! My name is Sarah Sloat and I’m a writer and editor.
I’m interested in unexpected connections, the wonderful, and the weird.
You can find my byline at Scientific American, The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Daily Beast, Wired, Gothamist, The New Republic, DAME, MIT Technology Review, Popular Science, Hakai Magazine, The Guardian, NBC, and others.
Previously I was a senior editor at Inverse where I managed the science, mind and body, and innovation verticals. You can find all of my Inverse articles here. I’ve also worked extensively as a fact-checker and science consultant, most recently on Marvel’s The Unstoppable Wasp. I’ve also performed comedy at Caveat and Upright Citizens Brigade. If you’re looking for someone to chat science on your radio show or panel, I’ve done that too.
While I’d rather be outside, I write from an apartment in Brooklyn with many (struggling) plants. If you’re interested in working together you can email me at sarahsloat9@gmail or say hi on Twitter.
Selected writing
Below you’ll find the topics I report on most frequently — “read more” will take you to a collection of clips. Many of my articles sit at the intersection of science and culture.
Mental health
I report on the link between the mind and body, mental health myths, actionable steps you can take to increase well-being, and access to mental health care.
Ancient humans
I report on the science of ancient humans and their influence on modern health and culture.
Technology
I report on how digital worlds influence human relationships and space exploration.
