Emily Deming-Martin

Emily Deming is a freelance writer who came back to writing mid-life after an academic and professional career in earth and planetary sciences and the oil industry. While switching careers, she immigrated, started a family and suffered personal losses. She understands upheaval, does not silo science from art, almost never panics, and finds the most humour in the things she takes the most seriously. She has written for CBC, Atlantic Business Magazine, The Scope, East Coast Living, and others about people, food, drink, arts, culture and travel and covered/poked fun at City Hall with her weekly column "Notes from the Rafters" at The overcast.ca. Her work covering the Snelgrove Trial in 2017 led to an opportunity to work with Documentarian Chris Brookes from Battery Radio on a GPS based podcast App "Consent: walk the walk" which won international acclaim.
