Deborah Halber started out as a daily newspaper reporter then turned to the dark side to do public relations for Tufts and other universities. As a science writer at MIT, she chronicled everything from quantum weirdness (that’s the technical term) to snail slime. Her narrative nonfiction book published by Simon & Schuster, THE SKELETON CREW: HOW AMATEUR SLEUTHS ARE SOLVING AMERICA’S COLDEST CASES, inspired the crime drama ULTRAVIOLET, produced by Sony-owned AXN in Poland and picked up by Netflix. A member of the National Association of Science Writers and president of New England Science Writers, she also writes about true crime or anything involving moldy dead things.
