A senior correspondent for Insider, Adam Rogers grew up in Los Angeles and started his career in journalism as a fact checker at Newsweek, where he reported on everything from life (or rather its absence) on Mars to the business of Star Wars. He also covered the presidential campaigns of Bill Bradley and Al Gore.

After Newsweek, Rogers was a Knight Science Journalism Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he studied urban ecology and the science of color.

Before joining Insider in 2022, Rogers was a longtime editor and writer at Wired, where he held multiple jobs including editing features, running the science section, and serving as deputy editor of Wired.com. His article “The Angels’ Share” won a AAAS/Kavli award, and his piece “The Science of Why No One Agrees on the Color of This Dress” remains one of the most-read pieces of journalism on the internet. In 2018 he won the Research Society on Alcoholism Media award. Rogers is a graduate of Pomona College and has a Masters degree in science journalism from Boston University. He lives in the California Bay Area.
