作为一名受过训练的科学家，加里·陶伯斯（Gary Taubes）在哈佛大学攻读应用物理学本科，并获得了理学硕士学位，之后在斯坦福大学获得航空航天工程硕士学位。 1981年，他获得哥伦比亚大学新闻学硕士学位。一年后，他成为科学刊物《发现》杂志的特约记者。
这位纽约本地人以解决科学争议而闻名。 他撰写了多篇文章和书籍，包括“诺贝尔梦想，糟糕的科学：冷聚变的短暂生命和怪异时代”和“好卡路里，坏卡路里”，也被称为“英国的饮食错觉”。 他最近的一本书是纽约时报的畅销书，名为“我们为什么发胖：以及如何应对”，探讨了上个世纪的“不良营养科学”。
加里·陶伯斯曾三次获得全国科学作家协会颁发的社会科学奖，并曾任麻省理工学院奈特科学新闻研究员。
A scientist by training, Taubes studied applied physics at Harvard University as an undergraduate and earned his M.S. degree in aerospace engineering at Stanford University. In 1981, he earned a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University, and a year later, he became a staff reporter for the scientific publication Discover magazine.
The New York native is known for tackling scientific controversies. He has written several articles and books, including “Nobel Dreams, Bad Science: The Short Life and Weird Times of Cold Fusion” and “Good Calories, Bad Calories,” also known as “The Diet Delusion in the UK.” His most recent book, a New York Times best seller called “Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About it,” explores “bad nutritional science” from the last century.
Taubes is a three-time recipient of the Science in Society Award of the National Association of Science Writers and a past MIT Knight Science Journalism Fellow.
