Dave Mosher

Communicator, storyteller, and grizzled former reporter. I'm an external relations professional at IBM Research, focused on quantum computing, AI, and semiconductors research. Before that, I spent 15 years as a working journalist — WIRED, Business Insider, Popular Science, National Geographic. I still take on select freelance projects.
