I am an investigative correspondent with The New York Times and the author of the book The Scientist and The Spy: A True Story of China, the FBI, and Industrial Espionage (Riverhead 2020), on a trade secrets theft case involving a Beijing company. My other works include Unnatural Selection, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and the longform true crime story And The City Swallowed Them. I have testified before Congress and appeared on the BBC, CBS, MSNBC, NPR, and other radio and television outlets.
I previously worked as an investigative reporter for The Intercept, the China bureau chief for Science, and a foreign correspondent for The Chronicle of Higher Education. I was a founding member of Deca, a cooperative of award-winning writers creating narrative journalism about the world, and a National Fellow at New America. I speak Mandarin, Spanish, and Dutch.
