Anna Gosline

Anna Gosline is the co-founder and co-editor of Inkling, together with partner in crime extraordinaire, Anne Casselman. Way back in 2001, the pair started a popular print science magazine at the University of Toronto called Jargon. It survived a few years after they graduated and then died. The pair vowed to avenge its death.

After defecting from academia, she entered the science communication program at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She ended up in London, writing for New Scientist magazine, where she met people with super human alcohol tolerances.

Back on the West Coast, she has rediscovered her love of down vests, trees and coffee shops. Okay, so she never stopped loving coffee shops, it's just that there are so many MORE.

These days she splits her time between Inkling and writing for New Scientist, Scientific American, Scientific American MIND and the Los Angeles Times.
