She’s written for Nature, New York Times, Reader’s Digest, Scientific American, New Scientist, Science News, and ESPN the Magazine, among others, including a column about the science of sex, dating, and relationships for the Los Angeles Times.
Regina's feature article on p-values in Nature earned the American Statistical Association’s 2014 Excellence in Statistical Reporting Award. Along with co-host Kristin Sainani, she wrote a statistics column for the journal Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation for several years, and she formerly served as a writer for the Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences and for the American Statistical Association.

In her lectures and teaching, Regina often incorporates sex-science examples to keep her audiences awake and professes no shame in doing so.
