The Really Big Questions (TRBQ)

Flora Lichtman is a producer for The Really Big Questions.

I'm a science journalist living in New York. My work has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, Popular Science and in a number of film festivals.I spent eight years working for Ira Flatow at PRI’s Science Friday — shooting, producing and editing hundreds of science videos and chatting about them on the air. I even got to host the 2-hour live radio show on several (desperate) occasions.I'm the co-author of Annoying: The Science of What Bugs Us — sadly a topic of deep personal interest.
