Mary Roach

Mary Roach is an American author, specializing in popular science and humor. Roach is noted for her curiosity and humor in addition to her research. Her many humor-laced articles in various publications over the decades include her monthly humor column, "My Planet", in Reader's Digest.

Although Roach writes primarily about science, she never intended to make it her career. Roach stated in an interview with TheVerge.com when asked what exactly got her hooked on writing about science, "To be honest, it turned out that science stories were always, consistently, the most interesting stories I was assigned to cover. TV and radio shows have repeatedly asked Roach to appear as a guest so they could hear her opinions. She has appeared on programs like Coast to Coast AM, The Daily Show, and The Colbert Report.
