Author Notes:Barbara Ellen Strauch was born in Evanston, Illinois on May 10, 1951. She received a bachelor's degree in English from the University of California, Berkeley. She worked for newspapers in New England, Venezuela, and Houston before becoming a senior editor at New York Newsday. She ran the Newsday team that won the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of a midnight subway derailment in Manhattan that left five passengers dead and more than 200 injured.

After New York Newsday ceased publication in 1995, she was hired by The New York Times.

She became health editor in 2004 and science editor in 2011. She wrote two books about the brain entitled The Primal Teen: What the New Discoveries about the Teenage Brain Tell Us about Our Kids and The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain: The Surprising Talents of the Middle-Aged Mind. She died of breast cancer on April 15, 2015 at the age of 63.
