Ann Parson was born on August 25, 1950 in Blue Hill, Maine, United States, in the family of George A. Parson and Katharine (Bolton) Rodgers.
Ann became Bachelor of Arts at Boston University, in 1972.
Currently, book writing is her chief endeavor. Between 2008 & 2012 she wrote five commissioned family histories/biographies, each privately printed.
Ann's career started when she landed the job of photography reviewer for The Boston Phoenix. Before long, she was writing about the environment, and soon broadened into the entire landscape of science-technology. Publications/organizations written for include The Boston Globe, The New York Times, The Boston Herald, San Diego Union-Tribune, Harvard Health Letter, McCalls, The Baltimore Sun, the journals Cell, Cell Stem Cell, and The Journal of Life Science, National Geographic on-line News, and The Dana Foundation, not to leave out Boston Review, a publication I helped launch in the 1970s.
Teaching has always been the best of her experiences. From 1990 to 1998, she taught science writing (adjunct professor) in Boston University's graduate program in science journalism, and, previous to that, magazine writing at Emerson College and creative writing for various adult-ed classes.
