Experience

Becki Robins has been writing professionally since sometime during the previous millennium. Her favorite subjects include food, history, and science, and she's especially happy when she can get all three of those things into one article. Becki's freelance work has appeared in the Atlantic, Popular Science, Smithsonian, Scientific American, High Country News, Undark.org, Science News, Earth Island Journal, and Lonely Planet. She writes scripts for the popular YouTube series SciShow; to date, the episodes she's worked on have been viewed a total of more than 16 million times.

Education

Becki obtained her undergraduate degree in magazine journalism and her master's degree in science writing. Her education as a science and feature writer helps her translate sometimes complicated (and often dry) information into fun, useful, and easy-to-understand stories for non-scientist people.

Mashed Editorial Policies

Mashed’s industry-leading coverage is created by qualified and experienced writers, and is reviewed and fact-checked by our editorial team to ensure everything is accurate and timely. Outside experts are also consulted to help deliver factual, up-to-date information.

Our mission is to inform and engage our readers, telling them things they need to know, things they want to know, and things they didn't know they wanted to know about food. We strive to always provide a well-rounded reading experience, whether that’s the news of the day or a new original recipe you can try making at home. In an effort to provide the most comprehensive, current, and accurate content, our editorial team constantly reviews and updates articles as necessary.
