The Uncommon Life of Your Common Cold (Twelve Press, 2010), Sex Sleep Eat Drink Dream: A Day in the Life of Your Body (Houghton Mifflin, 2007), andChance in the House of Fate: A Natural History of Heredity (Houghton Mifflin 2001). Her articles and essays have appeared in Scientific American, National Geographic Magazine, The New York Times, and many other publications.
