- Sharon Begley was born in Englewood, New Jersey, and grew up in Tenafly, where she graduated from high school as valedictorian. She graduated from Yale University in 1977 with a bachelor of arts degree in combined sciences. She began her journalism career as an undergraduate, when she was a contributing reporter for Yale Scientific Magazine. After graduation, she went to work for Newsweek, where she became a well-known science writer. In 2002, after 25 years at Newsweek, she joined The Wall Street Journal to write its weekly science column, "Science Journal." In 2007, she returned to Newsweek to write a science column. From 2012 until 2015, she worked as senior health and science editor at Reuters. In 2015, she became a senior member of the inaugural staff of The Boston Globe's newly-established online life sciences publication STAT. In 2002, she co-wrote The Mind and the Brain: Neuroplasticity and the Power of Mental Force with Jeffrey M. Schwartz. Begley published the bestselling Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain: How a New Science Reveals Our Extraordinary Potential to Transform Ourselves in 2007. In 2012, she again served as a co-author, this time with Richard Davidson, for The Emotional Life of Your Brain: How its Unique Patterns Affect the Way You Think, Feel, and Live -- and How You Can Change Them. She was the author of the 2017 book Can't Just Stop: An Investigation of Compulsions. Begley received numerous awards for her writing, including the 2005 Public Understanding of Science Award from the San Francisco Exploratorium, the 2017 Victor Cohn Prize from the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing, and the 2019 Kavli Science Journalism Award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). She spoke before many audiences about science writing, neuroplasticity, and science literacy, including at Yale University, the Society for Neuroscience, AAAS, and the National Academy of Sciences.
