Michael McCallister

West Allis, WI

WriterTechnical WriterBook Author

I’m a writer. I’m a computer user. I’ve combined those characteristics for over two decades, helping other computer users be more efficient and effective. I’ve been publishing on WordPress for 10+ years. WordPress is the easiest and most powerful way to build your home on the Web, but sometimes the choices can be overwhelming. I write articles that simplify those choices and have built sites for others. I bring the same user-focus to describing and helping readers get the most from Linux and its applications.

Jeanette Beebe

Princeton, NJ

ReporterOther, SpecifyFact-Checker

I’m a journalist focused on aging, tech, and the politics and policies that shape health care. My work has appeared in TIME, TIME Health, The Daily Beast, Forbes, MarketWatch, Medscape, Mental Floss, PBS/Next Avenue, NPR/WHYY, and Fast Company, where my reporting on health and health data privacy was featured as one of the Aspen Institute's “Five Best Ideas of the Day.” But my finest moment might be when I somehow managed to gross out The New York Post, who called the pizza chef robot I profiled in Scientific American “creepier than lice and spiders.” I also write a daily newsletter for the Center for Cooperative Media at Montclair State University — it's a roundup of NJ news. I occasionally take gigs as a fact-checker and podcast producer, and my work as a freelance recordist (tape syncer) has been broadcast by the BBC, Gimlet Media, KALW, WBUR, and NPR/ProPublica’s “Lost Mothers” series.

Jessica Robles

Rahway, NJ

WriterSocial MediaReporter

I've always been interested in telling stories even when it didn't seem so obvious before. After I immerse myself in a particular topic (e.g. international financial auditing principles, federal regulations, regional medical standards, or statutory legal developments), I work hard to turn complicated (and sometimes banal) subjects into something that connects with people (clients, patients, families, consumers). My undergraduate degree is in technical communications with a specialization in chemistry, and I anticipate earning a master’s degree in journalism from Harvard University (May 2019). SPECIALTIES: Telling true stories well, producing videos on a shoestring budget, managing social media strategies, developing platform-specific content, analyzing complex data to tell a compelling story.
