ENVIRONMENTAL AND SCIENCE JOURNALIST

Almost all of my work for magazines and for Newsday is either behind pay walls or unavailable on the web, but here’s a sampling of available stories:

A feature in Scientific American on molecular epidemiology research in China.

A feature in Scientific American on the toxicology of water fluoridation. (Full version is available for purchase from the magazine.)

   

An essay in Harvard University’s Nieman Reports about the disconnect between scientists and journalists, and the consequences for both and for society.

The table of contents for a series of articles in Newsday that won the AAAS and NASW science journalism awards. (Unfortunately, the articles are no longer available except for purchase from the Newsday archives.)
