Once or so a week—maybe more, maybe less, depending on her schedule—Janna Levin ventures from the Upper West Side of Manhattan, where she teaches astrophysics at Barnard and Columbia University, to Brooklyn’s Red Hook neighborhood. Oftentimes, she first swings by her writing studio in Fort Greene, but usually she ends up at Pioneer Works, a renovated warehouse space near the industrial waterfront. There, she’ll go to the third floor, where she works on her book about black holes or chats with Matthew Putman, a former Columbia professor and owner of Nanotronics Imaging, a startup developing atomic force microscopes.
