At Scientific American.com, Larry writes about the full spectrum of technology, including robotics, nanotechnology, alternative energy generation (wave and tidal power), and medical innovations. Larry joined the staff of Scientific American.com in August 2007, after eight years with InformationWeek. During his time at InformationWeek, he covered the open-source software movement, IT and homeland security, computer servers, microprocessors, PCs, and operating systems, as well as the impact these technologies have on businesses and their employees. As an InformationWeek editor, he interviewed a number of business and government technology leaders, including Michael Dell, Linux creator Linus Torvalds, Craig Barrett, former CEO of Intel, and former FBI CIO Zalmai Azmi.

In addition to writing about the more technical aspects of the business world, Larry has also written about how technology has transformed the modern workplace, government agencies, scientific research and the development of new medical treatments. Larry has written extensively about how the pharmaceutical and health-care industries are using technology to digitize their information to accommodate government mandates. Larry has also been at the forefront of reporting on the emergence of Linux in the business world.

Larry's ventures into multimedia journalism include blogging, creating video news segments for the InformationWeek Web site and appearing on AT&T Tech Channel's Hugh Thompson Show in September 2007.

Larry's writing experience is not limited to technology. As a student at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, he wrote about the use of DNA evidence in court rooms, New York's Rockefeller drug laws, the state of today's labor unions, developments in national security, and the post-9/11 renaissance of ham radio. He has had stories published in City Limits magazine, Grist magazine, and Slant, a publication produced by Columbia University's School of International and Public Relations.

Larry began his journalism career as a reporter for the Purdue University student newspaper, The Exponent. After graduation, he was a reporter for Forbes Newspapers of central New Jersey and worked as a technical writer for Electronic Data Systems.
