Science JournalismAs a regular op-ed columnist for the Hartford Courant, I meet the dictionary definition of "journalist." The Courant is the nation's oldest continuously published (1764) newspaper, and remains the flagship, capitol-city daily for the state. Since April 2004, I have have published more than two hundred Thursday columns, and more than thirty essays for "Place," its special Sunday commentary section that addresses the physical and cultural environment of southern New England and other places. My guest editorials have appeared in the New York Times , The Boston Globe , The Providence Journal, and a variety of magazines. In addition to writing, I have attended jouralism conferences, advised editors, given public lectures on geo-journalism, and have worked with journalism students.
