Oscar Fock
I’m an award-winning freelance journalist based in New York. I write about the environment, how climate change impacts us humans, and how we are responding.
In the past, I have also written about education and dinosaurs. My work has been featured in The Architect’s Newspaper, The Red Hook Star-Revue, The Village Star-Revue, Brooklyn Paper, the Port Washington Times, and Scandinavian popular science magazine Science Illustrated.
