Editor Deborah Illman has been awarded a $200K Discovery Corps Senior Fellowship by the National Science Foundation for 2006-2009. Her fellowship project, entitled "Team Science," is focused on communicating about large and long-term multidisciplinary research efforts using the NSF Science and Technology Centers as a case study. Research outcomes from such centers are not easily covered within the confines of the hard news format and traditional news beats. Illman will develop articles about outcomes of these centers and will study media coverage of interdisciplinary science. An award-winning science writer and editor, Illman has taught courses in science writing at the graduate and undergraduate levels and is founding editor of Northwest Science & Technology. Formerly, she served as Associate Editor of Chemical & Engineering News, the official news publication of the American Chemical Society with a circulation of approximately 150,000. She covered topics in analytical, environmental, and industrial process chemistry in addition to anchoring chemical education. Illman received a bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of Washington and a doctorate in physical chemistry from the State University of Campinas, Brazil. She is former Associate Director of the UW Center for Process Analytical Chemistry (CPAC), aimed at developing new sensors for on-line monitoring of chemical processes. During 1988-89, she served as a Science, Engineering, and Diplomacy Fellow of the American Associate for the Advancement of Science. |
