She has written for publications including The New York Times, The Atlantic, Scientific American, Nature, Wired, Science News and more.
While her life is now full of giant bugs and tales of space exploration, Drake was once a professional ballet dancer. She has a PhD in genetics from Cornell University and a graduate certificate in science communication from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
