The snacks are ready, the beer and wine are cooling in the fridge, and I’ve got a fresh stack of business cards to hand out—so come on over to Xconomy’s Potrero Hill/Dogpatch office for our spring open house, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm today. All friends and fans of Xconomy are welcome.
For our last open house in August 2010, just after we’d opened the San Francisco bureau, we squeezed about 75 people into the office (aka my live/work loft), and we’ve met a lot more Bay Area entrepreneurs and investors since then—so we’re expecting a great crowd. My colleague Luke Timmerman is visiting from our Seattle office, so you’ll also get to meet the guy who so capably handles our local life sciences coverage.
The address is 699 Mississippi Street, Suite 206, at the corner of Mississippi and 22nd Street at the southeastern foot of Potrero Hill. Parking is easy. The 22nd Street Caltrain station is a block away, and we’re just a 10-minute bike ride (or 20-minute walk) from SoMa. When you get here, look up “Roush, Wade” in the building’s digital directory and I’ll buzz you in.

Between 2007 and 2014, I was a staff editor for Xconomy in Boston and San Francisco.
Since 2008 I've been writing a weekly opinion/review column called VOX: The Voice of Xperience. (From 2008 to 2013 the column was known as World Wide Wade.)
I've been writing about science and technology professionally since 1994. Before joining Xconomy in 2007, I was a staff member at MIT’s Technology Review from 2001 to 2006, serving as senior editor, San Francisco bureau chief, and executive editor of TechnologyReview.com. Before that, I was the Boston bureau reporter for Science, managing editor of supercomputing publications at NASA Ames Research Center, and Web editor at e-book pioneer NuvoMedia.
I have a B.A. in the history of science from Harvard College and a PhD in the history and social study of science and technology from MIT. I've published articles in Science, Technology Review, IEEE Spectrum, Encyclopaedia Brittanica, Technology and Culture, Alaska Airlines Magazine, and World Business, and I've been a guest of NPR, CNN, CNBC, NECN, WGBH and the PBS NewsHour. I'm a frequent conference participant and enjoy opportunities to moderate panel discussions and on-stage chats.
