Rebecca Boyle is an award-winning journalist who recently relocated to St. Louis. She spent six years at newspapers in New Hampshire and Colorado until industry forces washed the ink from her hands and led her to the Internet, where she has written for publications including Scientific American and Popular Science.

Prior to covering NASA missions, biology and the physics of Star Trek, Rebecca held the criminal justice and politics beats, where she covered murder trials, the New Hampshire primary, the Democratic National Convention and Congress. She was granted an exclusive interview with Barack Obama before the 2008 election and has appeared on the O’Reilly Factor, TruTV, C-SPAN and various local television and radio affiliates.

As much fun as it was to cover people like Marilyn Musgrave, Rebecca has since decided that astrophysics is more exciting than electoral politics.

Rebecca is proud to hold a degree in journalism and history from Colorado State University. In her spare time, she enjoys photography, cooking, traveling and hiking with her husband and their dog, Lucy.
