The Stream

Michael Cook likes bad puns, bushwalking and black coffee. He did a B.A. at Harvard University in the U.S., where it was good for networking, but moved to Sydney where it wasn’t. He also did a Ph.D. on an obscure corner of Australian literature. He has worked as a book editor and magazine editor and has published articles in magazines and newspapers in the U.S., the U.K. and Australia. Currently he is the editor of BioEdge, a newsletter about bioethics, and MercatorNet. He also writes a bioethics column for Australasian Science and contributes occasional op-ed pieces to newspapers and websites in the U.S., U.K. and Australia.
