I’m Jamie Ducharme, a journalist and author based in New York City.
I'm an award-winning freelance journalist specializing in health and science reporting. I’m a true health generalist—seriously, I’ve written about everything from face transplants to "female anatomy push-ups"—but I've gone especially deep on vaping, mental health, parenthood decision-making, and post-infectious illness.
My work has been published by the New York Times, the Atlantic, BBC, Wired, Bon Appetit, KFF Health News, Women's Health, New Scientist, and many other outlets. Before freelancing full-time, I was a health correspondent at TIME magazine and health editor at Boston magazine.
I'm also the author of Big Vape: The Incendiary Rise of Juul, which I helped adapt into the Emmy-winning Netflix docuseries Big Vape: The Rise and Fall of Juul.
