Azareal aka Anne Helmenstine

Hi! I'm Anne Helmenstine, known to online readers as Anne, Dr. Helmenstine, or Azareal, depending on how you know me.


I wrote this bio to support my Squidoo lenses, but I'm finding it's a handy way to share photos and updates with friends and a one-stop spot for me to find my own online content.

I'm self-employed, but most of my working time is devoted to About.com. Much of the original content on the Internet is written by the Guides at About. These are my latest blog headlines.

Who Am I?

More about Anne Helmenstine

I'm a scientist, trained in interdisciplinary research. Biology, physics, chemistry, astronomy, programming, math... all that great stuff. I just call it 'science'. I don't consider myself specialized in any one scientific discipline.


I'm a professional writer. My main contract is with About.com writing about chemistry. It's incredibly fun, plus they pay me.


I've had other jobs. I have additional interests. I had a successful company as a jewelry designer for a few years. I'm a college professor and research scientist, on-and-off. I compose music. I spend much of my free time in the ocean.
