Christopher Mims is a technology columnist at The Wall Street Journal,[1] which he joined in 2014.[2]

Early life[edit]

Mims received a bachelor's degree in neuroscience and behavioral biology from Emory University in 2001.[2]

Career[edit]

Mims taught English in Japan for six months and worked in a neuroscience lab.[3][4] He was a science and technology correspondent and editor for Quartz,[5] and also worked as an editor at Scientific American,[6] Technology Review, Smithsonian and Grist.[citation needed] Mims was also a producer at Small Mammal,[7] where he helped director John Pavlus produce science videos for Slate, Popular Science, and Nature.[citation needed]

Mims covered the converging crises of the 21st century for Grist.[8]

Mims was a contributing editor at MIT Technology Review between 2011 and 2012.[9]

On 14 July 2014, Mims, writing in The Wall Street Journal, said the password "is finally dying" and predicted their replacement by device-based authentication, however, purposefully revealing his Twitter password resulted in being forced to change his cellphone number.[10]

Personal life[edit]

In January 2015, Taylor Lorenz announced her engagement to Mims.[11]
