Laura Pearlman’s short fiction has appeared in Nature, Shimmer, Flash Fiction Online, and a handful of other places. Her LOLcat captions have appeared in McSweeney’s.

Laura works in a research computing group in California. She’s decided not to mention her two cats in her bio, not even the cat that helps out with her job by participating actively in all her conference calls. She has a tragically neglected blog called Unlikely Explanations and can be found on twitter at @laurasbadideas.
