Science Media

Under the freelancing identity of Bite Back Productions, Robin has been writing and producing media since 1988. She began as an arts critic, then took on weightier investigative pieces. In 1992, she began work at KUOW, Seattle's NPR station, after which she spent 8 years at NPR station around the country. Then came the Web, and Robin launched a multimedia career. She moved to San Francisco to take a job as Web Producer for KQED-FM. From there she went to the Exploratorium, where she rekindled her interest in science and spent a decade as a Writer, Project Producer, and Multimedia Specialist.
