- David's articles about the body mechanics of self-defense earned him an induction into the Black Belt Hall of Fame for outstanding contributions to martial arts.
- His collection of science books is so numerous and oft-referenced that it needs a dedicated ladder.
- The Society for Cinema and Media Studies hosted a presentation of his original research during their annual conference.
Experience
David has written broadly, working with medical associations, public relations firms, ghostwriting clients, and other news outlets such as Healthline. He's held a number of roles at media organizations both large and small that include PBS and ABC. During his career he's had the opportunity to interview hundreds of leading scientists, researchers, and doctors about their work in fields as varied as the molecular structure of protein and the neurocognitive effects of music. David is enthusiastic about science on every scale, from the angstrom to the astronomical.
Education
David earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in radio and television production. He later earned a Master of Science degree in professional media and media management.
