Clark Boyd covers technology and science stories for The World. Although he's based in the Boston office, he spends quite a bit of his time on the road, seeking out the latest global technology news. He tries to focus not on gadgets and gizmos, but on the people who shape, and are being shaped by, those gadgets and gizmos.

Clark's been with The World for almost a decade now. He joined the show as a Researcher back in 1996, and immediately realized that radio journalism wasn't the worst possible way to make a living. After all, he did sell office furniture in Portland, Oregon for a while.

He's also managed to live and work in Scotland, Hungary and El Salvador for various lengths of time and space.

Lately, Clark's embraced podcasting as a new way to bring The World's technology coverage to a wider audience.

He'd like his epitaph to be taken from a critique frequently noted on his elementary school report cards: "Inclined to Mischief."

In 2006-07 Clark was a Knight Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
