About Jeff Goldberg

Jeff Goldberg is well-known as an investigator of psychoactive drugs, their cultural history, and how they work in the brain. Goldberg's on-the-scene account of the discovery of endorphins in Anatomy of a Scientific Discovery established him as a leading science writer with a talent for gripping storytelling. He is also the author, with Dean Latimer, of a history of opium, Flowers in the Blood. Goldberg's award-winning articles on science and medicine have appeared in Life, Discover, Newsweek and other popular magazines. A new book Confessions of a Pharma Bro, an insider's account of Goldberg's rise to the top in pharma advertising while his wife spiraled into addiction is forthcoming. His contributions to the Artsy website and Tricycle online magazine reflect his interests in art and Zen meditation.
