Rob Mitchum
I’m a scientist and writer living in Chicago. Currently, I’m finishing my Ph.D. in neurobiology, after which I will get the hell out of the laboratory and (hopefully) into a newsroom. I’ve written mostly about science and music, for publications like Pitchfork, Litmus, Paste, Oxford American, and the Chicago Tribune. For an introduction to my budding Reading fanship, see here.
Look for the guy with the Reading scarf at The Globe on weekend mornings, and say hi! Beer donations accepted.
