Sandra Blakeslee

Sandra (aka Sandy) Blakeslee. I am a science writer with endless curiosity and interests but have spent the past 35 years or so writing about the brain, mostly for the New York Times where I started my career back in the dark ages (late 60s.) I've been writing books for the past few years (The Body Has a Mind of It's Own, On intelligence, Sleights of Mind, Dirt Is Good and more.) As for back story -- I graduated from Berkeley in 1965 (Free Speech Movement major), went to Peace Corps in Borneo, joined the NYT in 1968 as a staff writer, then took off on my own, raised a family, lived in many parts of the world, now live in Santa Fe NM and even have grandchildren. To quote Churchill, so much to do....
