Andrew Curry is a journalist based in Berlin, Germany. He covers science, history, culture, and politics (pretty much in that order) for a wide variety of publications, including Archaeology, National Geographic, Science, and Wired. His work has been included in The Best American Science and Nature Writing anthologies and awarded prizes by the German Foreign Ministry. He recently lost his glasses while bodysurfing in the Pacific Ocean and was optimistic enough to look for them on the beach the next morning, just in case.
