MATSONresume1333130526.pdf I have been on staff at Scientific American since 2006, and since 2008 my duties have centered on astronomy and physics reporting. I also host a weekly podcast entitled "60-Second Space." Two of my primary interests are the search for extrasolar planets and the numerous investigations under way to determine the nature of dark matter. My reporting has made it clear to me that astronomy has entered a new era of big data. Rarely a day goes by without a new finding crossing my desk from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the Pan-STARRS telescope or the Kepler spacecraft. Having spoken to some of the people responsible for wrangling the data from those projects, I have at least a glimmer of understanding as to how overwhelming the output can be, and just what a challenge it is to digest the data and pick out interesting observations from the noise. That story is not easy to tell, however, and I suspect that much of the general public still imagines the prototypical astronomer as a lonely figure peering through the eyepiece of a telescope atop a remote mountain, looking for some never-before-seen object. The news media’s focus on discoveries, rather than on the process and the search, probably emphasizes this misrepresentation. Similarly, I do not believe that the general public understands the importance of computer simulations in modern astrophysics. Evidence for dark matter abounds, but its role in shaping galaxies and galaxy clusters would not be clear were it not for simulations such as Bolshoi and Millennium-II. Likewise, some of the best evidence that the moon formed from a Mars-size impactor striking the early Earth has come from computer simulations. I would like to attend the computational astronomy boot camp to learn where data-driven astronomy is headed and what challenges the field faces as it prepares for the unprecedented streams of data that will come from planned telescopes such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope and the Square Kilometer Array. I would also hope to get a better feel for what supercomputer simulations can tell us about the origins and the fate of the universe. But above all I would like to enhance my understanding of the diversity of researchers and tools engaged in astronomy today, so that I can convey to our readers that it is not just astronomers at mountaintop observatories who make discoveries, but theoretical astrophysicists, computational cosmologists and astro-coders sifting through massive databases, writing software on their desktop computers and borrowing time on the world’s largest supercomputers. 3.5 942 President St, Apt 4R, Brooklyn NY 11215 7183602371 5302772357 johnaxel@gmail.com jmatson@sciam.com jmatson@sciam.com M 0.5 http://scientificamerican.com jmatson@sciam.com 2124518807 75 Varick St, 9th Floor, New York NY 10013 Scientific American staff Associate editor A Matson John 30

Chad Cohen resume1333048496.pdf As a producer, writer, and director of science documentaries, I’ve been working to tell compelling, comprehensible and visually engaging science stories for more than a decade. After receiving a bachelor’s in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry from Rutgers College and researching Flu and HIV drugs for big pharma, I traded in my lab coat to earn a master’s in science journalism from New York University and allowed my curiosity to drive me ever since. In the name of clear, engaging science communication, I’ve juggled weightlessness, and nausea in NASA’s vomit comet, prowled underwater volcanoes in the submersible Alvin, and entered a stink chamber to experience “the world’s worst smell.” For the past 7 years, I’ve produced blue chip specials for National Geographic, PBS, and the Discovery Channel on everything from the energy crisis to human origins to the biological makeup of dinosaurs, garnering a 2010 Emmy nomination in the Outstanding Science Documentary category for National Geographic’s The Human Family Tree, and a win in 2008 for writing the Incredible Human Machine, which I also produced and directed. Currently, I’m developing a project for the Smithsonian Channel, featuring ALMA, the massive radio telescope under construction in Chile’s Atacama Desert. Bringing dramatic projects like these to life on the small screen is my bread and butter, but frankly, making them comprehensible and visually compelling is always a terrific challenge. I’m hoping the computational astronomy boot camp will offer some insight into how to visualize not just the immense amounts of data, but the big questions researchers around the world will be asking of the telescope. Ideally, the presentations will open doors to similar blue chip astronomy specials in the future. 14 same 202-232-5416 202-550-8722 chadding@mac.com chadding@mac.com chadding@mac.com M 12 http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow, http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/ chadding@mac.com 202-550-8722 5444 Nebraska Ave. NW Washington, DC 20015 National Geographic Channel, PBS/NOVA, Discovery Channel, Smithsonian Chanel freelance Writer/Producer/Director Cohen Chad 25

This essay is for a forthcoming collection which imagines what a contemporary Golden Records Project might look like. I was asked to write about the question of whether or not human images should be included in this archive. This is the text of a talk I gave to an interdisciplinary audience of Latin American scholars about research I conducted in Chile in July, 2011 and the ways I was seeking to interpret the data I gathered. This is a proposal I wrote to gain access to film at the Atacama Large Millimeter Array in Chile. I am the producer and script writer of this film, which will be shot this August, 2012. Detwiler-Records and the Future-Final1333077027.pdf Detwiler__Belonging_1333077027.pdf The Chilean Sky_Detwiler1333077027.pdf Detwiler_ALMA FILM1333077027.pdf As a doctoral student in anthropology, I am constantly producing new work related to my research on the relationships between technology, science, and society. Most recently, I have written essays on the effects of the Copernican Reform on concepts of time and on the way that the Copernican reform was metaphorized as the Copernican "displacement" in foundational philosophical narratives such as those of Freud and Nietzsche. I was a fellow of the Janey Program in Latin American Studies this past summer which allowed me to do research in Chile at the Paranal Observatory. I presented an account of this research to an interdisciplinary audience in New York this past November. I am currently writing two pieces for an essay collection which imagines what a contemporary update of the Golden Records Project of the Voyage Probe would look like. I have been involved with this project in a research and conceptualization capacity as well as in the position of a writer. Detwiler_CV_20121333077027.pdf I am a doctoral student in cultural anthropology at The New School for Social Research in New York, NY. Born and raised in northern New Mexico, I have long observed the multiple ways in which people make meaning from the night sky and the way that “space cultures”—both expert and lay—form in response to this domain of mystery and grandeur. My current research is on the massive astronomical enterprises in Chile's northern Atacama desert, particularly on how the data generated there moves out through international scientific networks and becomes the material that astronomers in far-flung places analyze, interpret, and theorize upon. I will begin one year of fieldwork at the European Southern Observatory’s three Atacama observatories beginning in January, 2013. In particular I will focus on how new instruments and technologies of observation change the practice of astronomical knowledge production, and on the analytical, methodological, and practical challenges created by the introduction of "information" and "data" to the field of astronomy. Astronomy now finds itself involved in the contemporary debates of the “age of big data.” There are many ways to think about this in terms of the relationships between science, technology, and society. My sense is that both social scientific and journalistic writing have rushed to concepts like “the virtual” in their attempts to theorize this shift and in doing so, have neglected the concrete, material dimensions of “data” and the work that is done upon it. While there is indeed a massive “flow” of data streaming out of Atacama, this deterritorialization also instantiates new places (like data archives) and new practices. Furthermore, it changes the social and material world of the desert itself. In other words, even as astronomy reaches to the other-worldly it creates new terrestrial infrastructures, practices, modes of work, and ways of life. I have been awarded access to the Atacama Large Millimeter Array in Chile to produce a short documentary film that focuses on the transport, assembly, and installation of radio antennae at the Chajnantor Plateau in the Atacama. The concept of the film is to observe in detail both the intricate technological apparatuses and instruments that allow data to be generated as well as the meticulous labor of the scientists and engineers who put these apparatuses in place. The film asks: what can be learned by slowing down and carefully observing the aspects of astronomy--the technological and human conditions of data-production—that are invisible in the data that is ultimately generated? The film will be shot this August in Chile, and will go into post-production immediately thereafter. The goal is to have the documentary completed to coincide with the completion of the radio array. Anthropology's genre--ethnographic writing--is quite distinct from journalism, yet there are shared concerns of audience, style, accuracy, and the balance of description and interpretation. I also seek to write for non-academic audiences, and am currently writing for a forthcoming public art exhibition and book (also outer-space and techno-science themed) with photographer and experimental geographer Trevor Paglen. As an anthropologist, I seek to be able to grasp the conceptual frameworks, languages, and practices of others (in this case, observers, engineers, and astronomers). The UC-HiPACC workshop would be a fantastic opportunity for me to develop my understanding of the vocabulary, instruments, analytics, and concepts of contemporary computational-astronomy. 0 314 Carroll St. #3R, Brooklyn, NY 11231 347-457-6172 917-520-2597 katie.detwiler@gmail.com katie.detwiler@gmail.com katie.detwiler@gmail.com F 4 http://www.newschool.edu/nssr/subpage.aspx?id=9164 detwk882@newschool.edu 917-520-2597 6 East 16th St., 9th floor, Box #17, New York, NY, 10003 The New School for Social Research Doctoral student in cultural anthropology other Doctoral student in anthropology, The New School for Social Research M Detilwer Katheryn 27

For example, I have written about possible new human ancestors, the color of the Milky Way, and the search for the Higgs boson. For Pi Day (3/14), I contacted more than a dozen scientists to explore how the number pi is used in everything from exoplanet research to genetics. Examples from "Light Years": http://lightyears.blogs.cnn.com/tag/cnns-elizabeth-landau/ My primary beat at CNN.com is Health. I wrote 5 major feature stories in 2011 about HIV in America, profiling very individuals across the country who acquired HIV under different circumstances. In addition to that, I write a lot about mental health, allergies, and child development. Examples from "The Chart," CNN's Health blog: http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/tag/elizabeth-landau-cnncom-health-writerproducer/ resume1333124268.pdf Writing about the cosmos is one of my favorite parts of CNN’s new blog “Light Years,” which I co-founded in 2011. I love learning about the mechanics of supernovae, the search for habitable planets, and the mysteries of black holes. Our audience loves it, too; there is clearly a need for communicating this knowledge to the public. I have written dozens of articles for “Light Years.” Each day I also scour scientific journals and agencies’ websites for news that we should be covering, and assign stories to writers in many different parts of the CNN network, including at foreign bureaus. And I edit much of the “Light Years” content, also. This is in addition to my regular duties in CNN Health; since 2008 I have written between one and five articles per week about topics related to medical research, mental health, or wellness for CNNhealth.com. Often “breaking news” in astronomy appears overly technical, and it’s hard to know how to express it in an understandable way. Terminology that I am familiar with may be confusing to our readers. Moreover, I want to make sure that I am asking the right questions of scientists, so that I am conveying the proper information. I love being a science journalist, but I don’t have a degree in astronomy. I hope to attend the “Computational Astronomy: From Planets to Cosmos” workshop in order to get a more intense grounding in some of these important topics, and have a better knowledge base moving forward with the “Light Years” blog. I hope to get story ideas, sources for future articles, and background information that will enhance reporting on these subjects. Moreover, astrocomputing is something I’ve heard about never seen first hand. The trip to see the Pleiades supercomputer and Hyperwall sounds amazing, and I’m sure that those experiences will better prepare me to write about related topics. Given that my outlet is CNN, “the most trusted name in news,” I feel a tremendous responsibility to deliver accurate, cutting-edge information to our large audience. I hope to be selected for this workshop so that, when it comes to astronomy news, I can do that even better. Thank you for you consideration.

I knew that I was able to craft words that could entertain, enlighten, and emotionally touch people, but how to use those skills in a different way, one that could provide both a fulfilling creative expression and also a way to make a living? I’d been interested in and enthusiastic about science since my earliest days, and had a good working knowledge of the subject in general and continued to read widely in its various disciplines. Inspired by an observation by one of my personal heroes, Carl Sagan, that “we live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology,” I realized that science writing would be a way to use my individual talents to try to correct that situation. Thus, I returned to school at DePaul University and completed a B.A. degree in science writing/journalism in 2001. Since then, I’ve been writing and selling magazine articles on science and technology to a variety of outlets, including American Heritage’s Invention & Technology, Air & Space Smithsonian, Scientific American, and Popular Science. I also freelance for several universities and other institutions, such as the University of Pennsylvania, The Franklin Institute Science Museum, and Argonne National Laboratory. My first book, The Science of Superman, was published by iBooks in the fall of 2002. I next expanded one of my magazine features into The Depths of Space: The Story of the Pioneer Planetary Probes, published by National Academies Press in June 2004. My latest book, A Life in Twilight: The Final Years of J. Robert Oppenheimer, was published by St. Martin’s Press in November 2008. As can be readily noted from my list of published works, astronomy and space science, including manned and unmanned space exploration, are among my major intellectual passions. In recent years, I have also developed a strong interest in computer science, and am currently studying the subject at the college level. Thus, my interest in attending the UC-HiPACC Journalism Boot Camp is based not only on the opportunity it affords to learn about the cutting edge of current astrophysical/cosmological research, but the potential for supercomputing applications to transform a traditionally observational and theoretical science into an experimental discipline. It’s a fascinating symbiosis of the two realms of knowledge. I recently interviewed a physicist working with the Large Hadron Collider who discussed the possibility that the LHC might be able to create dark matter particles for direct observation and study – an intriguing prospect. But no less compelling is the idea that supercomputers may soon give us the tools to solve long-standing mysteries such as dark matter and dark energy without the need for an immense instrument such as the LHC. It’s an exciting prospect, and I believe this Boot Camp would prepare me to make the public aware of the importance and promise of this work. www.markwolverton.com 12 P.O.

I was also responsible for the redesign of the magazine's Notebook page to include the "Say What?" section, a brief look at a bit of science jargon (for example, "nuclear pasta") and why whatever-it-is is important (nuclear pasta are strange phases of matter in a neutron star's crust that can affect the star's overall shape). Carlisle resume1332438014.pdf When I first told my mother about the Event Horizon Telescope, a planet-wide network of radio telescopes that will image a black hole’s silhouette for the first time ever, she looked at me thunderstruck and yelled, “You mean we haven’t even SEEN one of these things?” Astronomy — and science in general — is all about observation and experiment. But to many people’s surprise (including my mother’s), these observations don’t come ready-made from telescopes. Sometimes, the experiments are pure computer code. As a science journalist I find it hard to know how trustworthy a result is when it’s based on simulations or heavily-processed data, and even harder to present that result to my readers. The UC-HiPACC computational astronomy boot camp appeals to me because it offers a better understanding of that pivotal role. By couching computational achievements within the larger scope of today’s pioneering investigations, the boot camp promises to give me the tools to better communicate the strengths and pitfalls of how we study the cosmos, both on a screen and through a scope. I first realized how central computations are to astronomy as a science writing intern in 2008. I knew about data processing and simulations from my coursework, but I’d thought of them as middlemen. Since then I’ve found myself frequently writing about computational astronomy, from the analysis behind exoplanet discoveries to the correlation between the Millennium Simulation of cosmic structure and recent observations from the CFHTLenS project, itself an analytic feat. Yet frankly, a part of me still doubts simulated results, and discoveries made through automated surveys don’t resonate. Even SN 2011fe’s debut made me wonder what’s slipping through the cracks, because I don’t understand how these automated efforts work. The UC-HiPACC boot camp would hone my judgment of up-and-coming science and help me weed the wheat from the chaff. By learning about the status of star formation theories from Mark Krumholz, for example, or the complexities of galaxy evolution from James Bullock and Steven Furlanetto, I will have a stronger grasp of where our knowledge stands and how new results feed into — or challenge — that knowledge. With that grounding I’ll be better able to appreciate future work. At the same time, the boot camp promises to make real for me astronomy’s techie side. As an editor at Sky & Telescope I write for a readership that spans the spectrum between hardcore observers who build their own telescopes and people whose only sense of astronomy is pretty Hubble pictures. The chance to see firsthand technologies like those made in the UCO Instrument Laboratories will give me a firm appreciation for the hardware that lies behind astronomy. With that knowledge, I’ll be better able to write for all our readers, appealing to the sensibilities of superb amateurs and bringing home the method behind the madness for our armchair readers. 2 72 Howard Street, Apt 2, Cambridge MA 02139 N/A 707-845-7688 cmcarlisle@alum.mit.edu ccarlisle@skyandtelescope.com ccarlisle@skyandtelescope.com F <1 http://www.skyandtelescope.com ccarlisle@skyandtelescope.com 617-758-0235 90 Sherman Street, Cambridge MA 02140 Sky & Telescope magazine staff Assistant Editor M Carlisle Camille 16

I specialize in sustainability, religion, living and health. I've written for The Oregonian, The Christian Science Monitor, Salon.com, The Portland Tribune, The Lund Report, Ancestry Magazine, Aish.com, The Writer, The Portland Physician Scribe, Vegetarian Times, Skirt! Magazine, Spirituality & Health and other online and print publications close to home and across the globe. One of my dearest childhood memories is standing outside with my grandmother one chilly winter night and looking up at the stars as she pointed out the constellation Orion. She told me the story of the hunter who sought to impress the goddess Artemis, then showed me how Orion's belt pointed toward the bloody red eye of Taurus the bull and to the Pleiades, forming the saddle on the bull's back. Decades later, I look for Orion in the winter sky and think of the stories humans have told for centuries about the stars, and how these compare with modern science. Though the market has lately pushed me into lifestyle stories, I’m anxious to get back to sustainable energy and to branch into astronomical sciences. Toward that end, I was one of 17 professionals selected for last year’s Launch Pad Astronomy Workshop for Writers -- the program improves science literacy in readers by targeting writers. While we crammed what felt like a full semester of astrophysics into a single week, I was left with even more questions, particularly about the tools and computer systems that are being used by today’s astronomers and what new technologies may be emerging. I want to be better informed and to be able to write more intelligently about what’s happening in astronomy and related sciences, and the underlying math. I’m still trying to get my head around the Higgs-Boson particle, and I’ve been following the “neutrino news” coming out of the ICARUS experiment at the Gran Sasso laboratory. Short-term, I anticipate writing more about professional and amateur astronomy and space sciences. I’d like to pitch on SETI -- the draw of this field, if it truly is career suicide, and what we've learned from such programs; the possible impact of natural disasters on Earth's rotation, orbit and weather; what we can learn from exploration of planetary neighbors (e.g., sending MESSENGER to Mercury) and why these continued efforts are important; profiles of young people showing early interest in astronomy and exploration; and contrasting new scientific discoveries against what we used to know (or thought we knew) in earlier centuries. Long-term, I look toward having a column on the intersection between spirituality and science. I expect the Computational Astronomy Boot Camp will expand my knowledge of astronomy science, correct my assumptions where I'm wrong and help me better connect the dots between the frontiers of science and every day living, now and in the future. In effect, I want to be a better science writer. jennifer-willis.com 6 5541 SW Miles Court 503-419-8172 503-419-8172 jen@jennifer-willis.com jen@jennifer-willis.com jen@jennifer-willis.com F 13 http://jennifer-willis.com jen@jennifer-willis.com 503-419-8172 5541 SW Miles Court self freelance writer S Willis Jennifer 24

I've also written about the increasing power of computers to perform complex molecular dynamics simulations, as well as their aid in drug design. resume 3 20121333147302.docx During my 17-year tenure as a writer and reporter at Chemical and Engineering News (C&EN), I’ve anchored the magazine’s coverage of astronomy, planetary science, and computational chemistry. Over the years, I’ve written about supercomputing, cluster computing, and cloud computing. I’ve followed the scientific adventures of most planetary space missions, from Cassini to Mercury MESSENGER to the Mars Science Laboratory. In addition, I’ve explored the controversy over the detection of interstellar glycine, the nature of diffuse interstellar bands, and new results from the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX). This journalism boot camp, “Computational Astronomy: From Planets to Cosmos,” sounds like an extraordinary opportunity to deepen my understanding of two important aspects of my beats, and bring them together in new ways for the more than 150,000 people who read C&EN. Chemistry is ubiquitous in astronomy, and it’s a pleasure to be able to reinforce this idea through my writing and reporting. I’ve watched computational science grow into an extremely powerful discipline in its own right, one that is as essential to scientific discovery as observation. I would welcome the chance to get an inside tutorial on what I consider two of the most exciting subjects in science. 20 1325 Derby St. Berkeley, CA 94702 510 548 1506 510 390 6180 ekwilson@nasw.org e_wilson@acs.org e_wilson@acs.org F 17 http://cen.acs.org e_wilson@acs.org 510 390 6180 1325 Derby St. Berkeley, CA 94702 Chemical and Engineering News staff Senior Editor K Wilson Elizabeth 33

Even though I was not academically trained as a journalist, my interest is in communicating this science to the public. Through my editorial experiences at Astronomy, I’ve been exposed to some excellent science journalism, and I’ve collected suggestions from those in the field. I consider factual accuracy to be the most important aspect in each article, news story, and video script that I write and edit. While at Astronomy, I have written articles about topics ranging from black holes to satellites of the solar system’s giant planets and even a ranking and description of the top space stories of the previous year. The articles I edit cover even broader topics, from an overview of antimatter to a biography of Edward Emerson Barnard. My educational experience in both undergraduate and graduate astronomy and physics courses provided me with background knowledge on a number of scientific topics. But, in order to understand each article and edit it completely — double- and triple-check facts, conceptualize illustrations, and write sidebar content — I thoroughly research the scientific accuracy of the content. This is the case whether I edit or write an article. I have a plethora of textbooks and journals to verify scientific accuracy, but often I prefer to check with a professional scientist. In my most recently published article, “How do we know black holes exist” (April 2012), I checked facts in multiple textbooks and journals and contacted a number of astrophysicists, including Karl Gebhardt of the University of Texas, Austin, and Eliot Quataert of the University of California, Berkeley. These collaborations helped straighten out my understanding of the science. Attending the UC-HiPACC Science/Engineering Journalism Boot Camp would be a way for me to create a larger pool of information that I can pull from when editing and writing. I will be able to build on the knowledge I have already gathered from five years of undergraduate- and graduate-level physics and astronomy classes, astronomy laboratory research, and five years of science journalism. It will give me a firmer background on numerous astronomical topics and provide me with excellent contacts for future communication. Thank you for your consideration.

I also wrote the chapter on working as PIOs for the National Association of Science Writers' "A Field Guide for Science Writers." This was a research story that centered on a journal paper reporting on the findings of a study of aromatherapy and stress reduction. The authors, world-renowned experts on the linkage between stress and immunity, found no benefit to the use of aromatherapy, in spite of it being a billion-dollar industry. much to the chagrin of that industry. This was a piece from our On Research blog (http://researchnews.osu.edu/blog) that focused on an infographic about scientific misconduct that was being circulated on the web. While attractive, the graphic was extremely misleading to the public and the blog entry cites its deficiencies. None of the postings on this blog were efforts to promote Ohio State research, but instead focused on commentaries and observations about science, research and science policy. The blog was an independent voice that we conviced the university to allow as a means towards improving the public's understanding of science, and the research community's understanding of the news media and communications in general. This was a magazine piece explaining the conclusions garnered after three decades of climate change research by our paleoclimatologists. It was unique in that it was the first time these researchers went beyond their data to lay out alternatives for society. http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/socbhvchapt.pdf http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/aromathe.htm http://researchnews.osu.edu/blog/?p=1279 http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/AlumniMonthly--LonnieThompson.pdf I've been the senior university officer responsible for communicating research at Ohio State University for 33 years, focusing on "discovery" stories of new research, based on peer-reviewed publications and presentations. I've also been the chief communications office for the institution covering issues management and crisis communications involving research risk areas, including animal use, human subjects, fraud and misconduct in science, conflicts of interest, biosafety and radiation safety. During my tenure, I was also chief writer and editor for two periodicals, both of which won numerous national awards, and three news services EH Resume latest short1333051823.doc I grew up in a journalism family, the son of the editorial page editor of The Birmingham (AL) News in the civil rights era and was immersed in the critical responsibility of journalism from day one. Later, after my father died, I ended up as a staff reporter for the same newspaper, spending five years on the paper before returning to college. After graduation, I ran a communications shop at Auburn University covering engineering research for five years before moving to Ohio State to create and run its research communications operation for 33 years. I will retire from that post in September. In the 33 years at OSU, I have reported on the great work of hundreds of geniuses, taught science reporting to students for 22 years, had weekly science columns in both the Columbus (OH) Dispatch and the New York Times Syndicate for a combined two decades, won 49 CASE awards for both newswriting and periodical writing, written book chapters, managed dozens of research-related crises, served on several important national boards and committees, including the boards of NASW and SEJ, and been called friend by outstanding scientists and science writers alike from across the country. Most importantly, I've been privileged to mentor some wonderful young writers who have gone on to make a name for themselves. While at Ohio State, I served for a while as the communications person while OSU was a primary partner for what became the Large Binocular Telescope that now sits on Mount Graham, visited the mirror lab at the U. of Arizona, and the then Smithsonian’s Multiple Mirror Telescope, among other observatories. I have reported on astronomy off and on throughout my career. I have consulted with numerous universities around the country about orienting their research news operations more journalistically, rather than being marketing oriented, and with the National Science Foundation and other science-based organizations. At this point in my career, attending the UC-HiPACC boot camp will offer the kind of in-depth insight into new research that I crave. At the same time, I believe the experiences I have had in nearly 40 years of science communications might offer a useful addition to the dialogue at this meeting. http://www.nasw.org/users/emhollan/, http://researchnews.osu.edu/blog/ 43 1220 Smiley Court no home phone (614) 286-6574 holland.8@osu.edu holland.8@osu.edu holland.8@osu.edu M was 33 holland.8@osu.edu 614-292-8384 (until April 6) 21 East 11th Avenue, Columbus, OH 43201-2126 (until April 6) Formerly Ohio State University freelance (former) Asst.

GossResume1331752054.docx Between studying writing and science in college and actually becoming a science writer, I took a bit of a detour to study law and indulge fantasies of becoming a speechwriter. As early as the first day of my bar exam, when I woke up at dawn not to cram, but to turn on the television and watch space shuttle Discovery launch, I began to work my way back to what I loved. At the time, an up-and-coming local news website was looking for arts writers. It wasn't my area of expertise, but arts writing turned out to be a lot like science writing – the challenge was to take something mysterious, sometimes complicated and even intimidating, and translate it in a way that's informative and intriguing. I took on more responsibility and learned the skills to be a journalist, and what it took to run an online publication during a time when they were really coming into their own. Within a year, I was the arts editor; within two I was the site’s managing editor and our readership was growing rapidly. I missed science, however, and the joy that comes with sharing the exploration of the universe with others, so I decided our local news site needed a regular astronomy feature. I used it to teach night sky observing and cover industry news, like the development of the nearby Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at Wallops Island, Virginia. Soon, an editor from Aviation Week came knocking: he was looking for a space blogger, and a mutual friend had pointed him to my column. He sent me to Florida to cover a shuttle launch, and I developed a regular beat covering planetary missions. To further sharpen my science communication skills, I began volunteering at the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum's new Public Observatory in 2009, where I spoke to visitors about heliophysics, showed them sunspots and prominences, and explained the mysteries and misconceptions of solar cycles. While I enjoyed my freelance pursuits, I was ready to make science writing my full-time career. I joined Air & Space / Smithsonian magazine last year as an associate editor and now work with a cadre of writers to publish feature aviation and aerospace stories, and am always looking for ways to expand our space coverage. Aside from a minors-worth of college astrophysics classes, I'm largely self-taught. The UC-HiPACC Science/Engineering Journalism Boot Camp would enrich my science education and, in particular, my understanding of research processes. I hope to be able to see stories where I didn't (or didn't know how to pursue them) before, and frame them for a general audience. The Smithsonian's mission is "discovering new knowledge and sharing our resources with the world"; with a deeper understanding of astronomy, I will have more resources to share with our Air & Space readers. 5 757 Kenyon St NW, Washington, DC 20010 202-596-7101 202-596-7101 heathergoss@gmail.com gossh@si.edu gossh@si.edu F 1 http://www.airspacemag.com gossh@si.edu 202-633-6035 MRC 513 P.O.

For my most recent newsbriefs, see the OPN website at http://www.osa-opn.org. resume-P-Daukantas-February-20121333147157.pdf My professional life has brought me into contact with journalism, astronomy, and supercomputing in complex ways. Despite a childhood fondness for space science, I got my first bachelor’s degree in journalism and did all the usual small-town (now “hyper-local”) reporting and editing things. Then I realized I wasn’t using all the aptitudes I had shown in high school, and I went back to college for a bachelor’s degree in physics – while working on the copy desk of the local daily paper. I had a summer internship at Kitt Peak National Observatory and a chance to study graduate-level astronomy, although I emerged only with a master’s degree from that experience. Working for the niche publication Computers in Physics introduced me to the world of high-performance computing (HPC), and I quickly learned that modeling and simulation have fast become the third pillar of science, in addition to theory and experimentation. When the physics journal folded, I moved over to a trade newspaper, Government Computer News, and tried to write about supercomputing as often as I could get away with it. (The fact that the federal government funds the laboratories that house many of the world’s fastest supercomputers really helped.) If you do a Web search on my name and words like “supercomputer,” you’ll probably find links to some of my articles from this era. I attended the SCXY conferences from 1996 to 2003 (excluding 2001), where I was fortunate to talk to many of the key scientists in high-performance supercomputing and learn as much as I can about the hardware, software and applications. For a while I entertained the notion of writing a popular-level book on scientific supercomputing. Even when I got a staff job at Optics & Photonics News, I couldn’t resist bringing my HPC knowledge and contacts back for one more feature article on dedicated high-speed networking between supercomputers. How does all this tie into my original interest in astronomy? I’ve always used a celestial metaphor when trying to explain scientific modeling to laypeople: “Human researchers can’t just pick up two galaxies and smash them into each other and see what happens.” I know how astrophysics use models to study the magnetohydrodynamics of stars and the role of dark matter in the large-scale structure of the universe. I would like to use this workshop to catch up on the latest HPC technology, which has certainly evolved quite a bit since the early 2000s, and to explore the latest findings in computational astrophysics. Who knows, I may finally get cracking on that popular-level book! http://photonicpat.wordpress.com 15 7740 Lakecrest Drive Greenbelt, MD 20770 301-523-5542 patd@nasw.org patd@nasw.org patd@nasw.org F 1.5 http://www.osa-opn.org My address: patd@nasw.org; magazine's address: opn@osa.org My work phone: 301-486-1949; magazine editor's phone: 202-416-1424 2010 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20036 Optics & Photonics News (freelance customer) freelance Writer/Editor L Daukantas Patricia 32

In recent years I’ve increasingly focused on writing about astronomy and astrophysics, a life-long interest of mine, for media outlets such as Scientific American and institutions such as The Kavli Foundation. The Kavli Foundation is one of my primary clients, for whom I’ve interviewed researchers studying exoplanets, dark matter, dark energy, string theory, the emergence of the first stars and galaxies, and other subjects. This summer, I plan to travel to Chile to report on several cosmology projects, including a CMB polarization experiment, the Dark Energy Survey, and projects underway at ALMA. I’ve worked hard over the years to learn about the fields I report on, and astrophysics is right at the top of my list of intellectual challenges. It’s also a huge passion that inspires a sense of awe and wonder for me. As I prepare for my reporting trip to the Atacama, and focus my writing career more sharply on astronomy and astrophysics, I aim to raise the depth and quality of my reporting with new levels of expertise. Your fellowship will help me better understand the mathematical challenges of new theoretical simulations, as well as how today’s working astronomers are using unprecedented amounts of observational data. One of the fields I’m keenly interested in is how new observational techniques and instruments are helping astronomers both challenge and better develop numerical simulations of the first stars and galaxies. In interviews with Avi Loeb, Richard Ellis, George Becker and others, I’ve learned a lot about probing this very early time, using both theoretical tools and observational techniques. A few years ago I wrote for Scientific American an overview of the next-generation of giant ground-based observatories, including TMT. While the science that these instruments will enable is captivating, I’m also interested in covering more deeply the engineering challenges of these and other observatories – not merely the large scale mechanics of gargantuan mirrors but also the CCD technology, spectroscopy and computing power that processes photons into meaningful data. In the 1990s, I wrote about the Palomar Testbed Interferometer, and today I’m learning more about how radio interferometry has matured in observatories such as ALMA. Most reporting on astronomy and astrophysics naturally focuses on the science discoveries that so captivate the public. But the fact that we can make these discoveries, that we can make sense of the vastness of space, is also an incredible human story. I can see that the your HiPACC fellowship will offer an important look into how astronomy and astrophysics is done – how new technologies and techniques are helping us understand the earliest moments of the universe, the emergence of stars and galaxies, the development of large-scale structure as enlightened by the Bolshoi Simulation and other work at KIPAC, and the ultimate fate of a universe that is flying apart at increasingly greater velocities. www.blieberman.com, www.linkedin.com/in/brucelieberman, http://twitter.com/#!/brucelieberman1 22 7517 Jerez Court, Unit C, Carlsbad, CA 92009 760-942-8835 619-922-7615 bruce.lieberman@yahoo.com bruce.lieberman@yahoo.com bruce.lieberman@yahoo.com M 2 bruce.lieberman@yahoo.com 619-922-7615 7517 Jerez Court, Unit C, Carlsbad, CA 92009 Freelance freelance Science & Environment Writer E.

Another "front door" web feature I produced based on my news release here: http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/dustynova.htm A freelance piece for IEEE Computing in Science and Engineering, on how computing techniques are enabling epidemiology. I produced this video feature and wrote the text. It was a "front door" splash page for the university web site. http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/diamondplanet.htm http://www.osu.edu/features/2010/supernova modeling_human_equation (1)1333125650.pdf http://www.osu.edu/features/2011/edgeoflight Over the years, my most major astronomy stories have concerned the complete and utter obliteration of life as we know it. The most recent story of potential death and destruction: "Is the Milky Way Doomed to be Destroyed by Galactic Bombardment? Probably Not" (http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/dmgalaxy.htm). I wrote our biggest research news story from 2011: a method for making super-strong steel in 10 seconds (http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/flashsteel.htm). But two of my astronomy stories made our top 20 list for the year: "In a Star's Final Days, Astronomers Hunt 'Signal of Impending Doom," (http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/deathstar.htm) and "Giant Super-Earths made of Diamonds are Possible" (in my writing samples below). When some of our researchers discovered how to detect underground nuclear tests with GPS (http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/gpsnukes.htm), I was invited to ghost-write an op-ed for the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists (http://thebulletin.org/web-edition/op-eds/new-way-to-detect-secret-nuclear-tests-gps). In it, I helped the researchers explain the implications of their work for the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. I've been working with our staff videographer to produce videos for YouTube and the university web site. The most recent one, "Edge of Light," is in my writing samples below. I've enjoyed some success with press conferences at the American Geophysical Union meeting, most notably with a story on a mummified forest in 2010 (http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/mumforest.htm) and the discovery of a "double tsunami" among the waves of the massive Japan tsunami in 2011 (http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/doubletsunami.htm). I just finished a feature on biomimetics -- when researchers take inspiration for new technologies from nature -- for the Ohio State alumni magazine. Lastly, I'm responsible for my department's annual report, and I'm especially proud of this year's design -- the first time we've published it on the Web: http://researchnews.osu.edu/AnnualReport/. If there was ever a time that the words "annual report" and "fun" could occur in the same sentence, this may be it. PFG_Creative_Resume1333125650.pdf When I was a freshman in college, I wanted nothing more than to be Carl Sagan. I wanted to be an astronomer who communicated the beauty and wonder of astronomy to the public. Then five years of calculus classes proved to me that I was not cut out to be a scientist. I did graduate, though, and carried my love of astronomy with me as I embarked on a writing career. Given that my new goal at the time was to write solely about astronomy, I can only be grateful for the happy accidents that forced me to write about other things in the interim. I edited a news service on manufacturing engineering, which gave me an appreciation for the technologies that enable innovation. I took a job at Ohio State University specifically so that I could cover astronomy research – and ended up covering statistics, chemistry, geology and engineering, too. Then I took a freelance contract for the IEEE Computer Society, assuming that the job was a stepping-stone to freelancing on astronomy. But that job gave me an appreciation for computing technology as well as computational theory – not just for astronomy, but all areas of science. If someone had told me ten years ago that I would grow to love the intricacies of parallel processing and computer modeling, I would never have believed it. So, in a way, a boot camp on computational astronomy would be an ultimate destination for me. I know it would benefit me professionally and personally, because I can now appreciate the math, statistics, and engineering behind astronomy. Here at Ohio State, I’m privileged to work with astronomers who are partners on the Large Binocular Telescope and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Over the years, I’ve covered their efforts to detect supernovae, their studies of gamma ray bursts, and their discoveries of black holes and planets. Computing has always been central to their discoveries. I am certain that the boot camp will enable me to get a jump on the technologies that my astronomers are going to be using in the coming years, so that I can better communicate their research to the public. The experience will contain the seeds of any number of freelance stories as well, I’m sure. With my ongoing relationship with IEEE, I hope to see some computational astronomy stories published in the near future. This is the right time in my career to get the most from what this boot camp has to offer. After almost 20 years of writing about science, I now see how astronomy connects with other disciplines, and how critical all those other disciplines are to the practice of astronomy. That’s why my current goal is to help society understand this big-picture view of science and – perhaps most of all – to help scientists from diverse disciplines understand each other. If I can, in some small way, enable good science to happen, then I will have honored that long-ago freshman girl who wanted to be an astronomer. http://pam.gorder.org, http://researchnews.osu.edu/pamfrostgorder 19 4023 Sheraton Ct.

As an editor, my biggest assignment remains making sure that Physics Today's 12 online-only departments continue to provide interesting, useful and engaging content. resumeDublin1332264646.doc My career as a journalist began in 1997 when I joined Physics Today, the monthly magazine of the American Institute of Physics. At first my main responsibility was to edit feature articles and obituaries, but I also wrote news stories for the magazine's Search and Discovery department. In 2003 I became the department's editor and principal contributor. In that role I wrote and edited stories that spanned the full range of physics and its close scientific relatives. Since 2009 I have been serving as Physics Today's online editor. The magazine was one of the first to make its print content available online. My job is to write, solicit and edit material that appears only on the website. Online-only content includes news, commentary and my blog, The Dayside. I also write a column for Computing in Science & Engineering, a bimonthly magazine jointly published by the American Institute of Physics and the IEEE Computer Society. As you can tell from my resume, I used to be an astronomer. After a two-year postdoc at Japan's Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, I joined the Laboratory of High-Energy Astrophysics at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. I worked at Goddard for six years. Given my background, why do I want to attend a boot camp on computational astronomy? First, I always welcome the chance to visit campuses and learn about research directly from the people doing it. Second, my knowledge of computational astronomy is shallow. I'm aware of some of its principal results, but not how they were achieved. Third, I expect the boot camp will be editorially productive for both Physics Today and Computing in Science & Engineering -- that is, I hope to come away with ideas for news stories and feature articles. 15 421 6th St NE, Washington DC 20002 202 543 4771 202 997 4185 cday@nasw.org cday@aip.org cday@aip.org M 3 http://physicstoday.org cday@aip.org 301 209 3036 1 Physics Ellipse, College Park MD 20740 Physics Today staff Onlne Editor SR Day Charles 15

I am responsible for writing sharp, timely stories about breaking news and research in the physical sciences. I occasionally write longer pieces and will write one to two features this year. My most recent stories were about what would happen to Earth if it was hit by an atom-sized black hole; how new measurements of radioactive elements in ancient rocks could rewrite the chronology of Earth's history; and a new technique for studying dark energy by examining how the cosmic microwave background filters through distant galaxy clusters. Before that, I was a physics and astronomy reporter for Wired.com, where I wrote quick news stories and blogs for the Wired Science news site. Grossman Resume 20121333147463.pdf I know how to recognize a good experiment. I know what to ask astronomers who send robots to other worlds or use telescopes to examine them. I know which errors they're prone to, and where uncertainties crop up. When I write about this kind of research, I am confident that I've covered all my bases. But when it comes to Monte Carlos and Bayesians and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics, I am lost. The supercomputer simulations and data-intensive research techniques that are becoming increasingly common in astrophysics promise to reveal everything from the first moments of the cosmos to the distribution of planets in the galaxy. But to me, they seem like a form of high wizardry. My summaries of these experiments too often sound like, "Then the researchers did some magic." As a journalist, I expect more of myself. I graduated from the Science Communication Program at the University of California, Santa Cruz in 2009, and have been writing news and features for publications like Science News, Wired.com and New Scientist ever since. My readers are science-savvy, and deserve the most detailed and accurate explanations of these cutting edge techniques. Attending the UC-HiPACC Journalism Boot Camp would solidify my understanding of these techniques. It would help me get a platform on which to build my reporting, and figure out what questions to ask researchers to see how believable their results are. I also eagerly anticipate the opportunity to hunt down, discuss and refine story ideas with other journalists who focus on physics and astronomy. I expect the field trips to the UCO Instrument Laboratories, NASA Ames Research Center and the California Academy of Sciences will provide rich material for future stories. http://likearadiotelescope.wordpress.com/, http://www.linkedin.com/pub/lisa-grossman/13/97/287, http://www.facebook.com/ligrossman, https://twitter.com/#!/astrolisa 3 49 Cottage St #2, Cambridge, MA 02139 732-754-1266 732-754-1266 ligrossman@gmail.com ligrossman@gmail.com ligrossman@gmail.com F 0.66 http://www.newscientist.com lisa.grossman@newscientist.com 781-734-8693 225 Wyman Street, Waltham, MA 02451 New Scientist staff Reporter I Grossman Lisa 34

(pdf) El Tiempo, Colombia, March 18, 2012. ALSO, the LINK IS FOR an award-winner Online interactive special on the Large Hadron Collider. I have been very intent on explaining this science to the Hispanic readers in Latin America and Spain. The pdf is a series of my own questions and answers about the machine and its science, and why it is not going to produce a black hole in Europe. I have gone to great lengths to make it accessible and easy (and that includes training the Latin American editors AND the lllustrators, who normally never deal with these kinds of graphics). People loved the interactive features online for the Muy Interesante website: please play with them. I love the collisions. I also got an interview with the Spanish legendary theoretical physicist Alvaro de Rujula, from CERN. I think it worked out great. We got an important infographics prize for that website. I forget what it is called. "Robert Kirshner", (a Q&A) MUY INTERESANTE. December, 2011. Last year in the Summer I went back to Cambridge and I had a nice talk with Prof Kirshner. It was great because back then he had no idea that his former student might be in on it for the Nobel Prize. So we talked about all that background of the discovery of the acceleration of the expansion and how he uses supernovas to calibrate it. He is the same funny guy he was during my classes in Astro 101 at the Harvard Science Center. "Icy Reception", WIRED (Posts). January 2007. In December 2006 I got the NSF journalism polar program fellowship, after 8 years of applying for it. So when I finally got to the pole, I was able to write several stories on the newly-finished station, a true state of the art intelligent building. I wish WIRED had taken the feature on how the station was constructed, but they opted for the shorter Internet piece. They are, after all, WIRED. "Seeing in Infrared", Astronomy Magazine. August 2002. White at the Knight Fellowship in Science Journalism at MIT I became a "helper" of both Robert Kirshner and Margaret Geller. So I kept working at the Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics on Thursdays (I was supposed to help the computer distinguish between stars and galaxies). One day Kirshner told me about the new observatory at Mauna Kea, the SMA, and would I like to go. And this story is the result of that trip. http://www.muyinteresante.es/rcs/minisites/2009/lhc/index.html Viaje al Corazon de la Materia_Angela P Swafford - Copy1331758491.pdf Robert Kirshner interview_Angela P Swafford1331758491.pdf WIRED south Pole1331758491.pdf Seeing in Infrared_astronomy_Angela _P_Swafford1331758491.pdf Other than my 8 novels (of the collection of 15) which are being produced at a rate of one every 16 months, other major assignments being in the works now include a multi-page biography of mathematician Alan Turing (this year marks his 100th anniversary). This one is for MUY INTERESANTE, a magazine that has been around for 30 years in Iberia. It is the flagship of an empire of science magazines in Europe and the Americas, and the Madrid edition is helmed by a biologist, who interestingly became a scientist only to be a writer/editor. I just turned in an educational feature for the largest newspaper in Colombia (El Tiempo) encompassing 2 full newspaper pages, no ads, of exactly what is it that the Large Hadron Collider does, and clarifying for the general audiences what is the Higgs Boson, and the yet to be proven fast neutrino experiment. It will be published later on this month. Another great feature I am embarked on now is the arcane ins and outs of the plasma VASIMR engine, designed by former astronaut Franklin Chang Diaz. It'll be tested in space in perhaps 2 more years. A recently published assignment followed the amazing physical trip of a packet of information from Europe to Miami, via the Internet. It all started when I realized that Miami is the place where the Columbus 3 Submarine cable emerges from the ocean after a hallucinating underwater trip from Spain, carrying all of our e mails and googles and videos and iPhone conversations, and even those of the White House! People think it is a satellite transmission, but actually the Internet has veins and it has a heart, and it is all submarine and underground, and this unbelievable building it arrives into, is better than science fiction. It is kind of sad the Hispanic media in the US has been slower to accept these kinds of science freelance. TV is out of the question, alas, for now. I have even offered to give away filmed interviews at the South Pole with Latinos there. No interest. Perhaps in the future Telemundo and Univision might care about something other than soap operas and immigration laws (this is why I had to take my Spanish science writing interests elsewhere abroad). But I never lose hope. Maybe one day I'll find an open editor in some Spanish US media outlet, and then I'll bury them with cool stuff! ANGELA POSADA-SWAFFORD_science writer1331758491.doc During my tenure at the MIT/Harvard Knight Fellowship in Science Journalism, back in 2000, I discovered I really enjoyed learning about astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology particle physics and planetary sciences. Classes were so magnificent and deeply interesting, that I forgot my ugly relationship with equations back in high school. But when I realized what lies beyond the numbers, that’s when I fell in love. Throughout the last decade, these topics have come to occupy a good 40% of the stories I write for MUY INTERESANTE magazine, the leading science for the general reader publication in Spanish in the world (3 million readers monthly, with circulation in Europe and the Americas). I am also the author of a collection of science and adventure novels for young adults in Spanish ("Los Aventureros de la Ciencia"). Each 200+ page book, published by Grupo Planeta, is devoted to a science topic/adventure which I have personally covered in the field in the past. Based on real scientists doing science today, but with an imaginary plot, several novels in the collection deal with astronomy/cosmology. My goal is to introduce the series in the US in both English and Spanish. Kids who have read them end up like me: liking science. Getting back to the Boot Camp, "Computational Astronomy" is something I have not dealt with too much yet. Curiously, that very notion has been very much on my mind this month as I research tons of material for a story on Alan Turing. I bet he'd be thrilled to see what the UC-HiPACC group is up to. Perhaps, though, not as thrilled as I'd be if you invite me over to this Boot Camp! www.angelaposadaswafford.com, http://www.linkedin.com/profile/edit?trk=tab_pro,https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=571866567 28 3700 Collins Ave #207, Miami Beach, FL 33140 305-433-2059 305-788-1232 aswafford@the-beach.net angela@angelaposadaswafford.com angela@angelaposadaswafford.com F 10 http://www.muyinteresante.es angela@angelaposadaswafford.com +34 91 436 9835 Albasanz 15, Edificio A, 28037, Madrid, Spain MUY INTERESANTE magazine/Madrid Edition staff Senior Science US Correspondent Posada-Swafford Angela 14

Resume January 20111333045870.pdf Dear Ms. Bell, I am very interested in attending the journalism boot camp. I am a successful freelance science writer in Canada. I have written about astronomy and other fields of science for more than 10 years. Some of the publications that I have written specifically about astronomy for include Sky & Telescope, Nightsky, Discovery.com and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Astronomy has fascinated me since I was a small child. In addition to my science writing, which frequently involves astronomy, I am an active amateur astronomer. I own five telescopes, which I use to observe and photograph the sky. I am sure I would enjoy your boot camp. As the title of the meeting recognizes, computers are being used to simulate everything from exoplanet atmospheres to the formation of the entire universe. I feel that there would be plenty for me to learn during the boot camp. My goal would be to use this information to write a feature for Sky & Telescope magazine. I think it is the most likely publication that I would submit a query to after the conference. I have a good relationship with them, stretching back to the beginning of my career. I have written news articles and features for them. Where I live, I do not have many opportunities to meet with scientists face to face, so an intensive series of meetings would be of great benefit to me. Thank you for taking the time to read my application, resume and writing samples.

(PHYSICS WORLD magazine) Resume - David Appell1332908790.pdf I’ve been a freelance science journalist and writer for 14 years, publishing in all the major science magazines about physics, technology, and the environment (especially climate change). I was one of the first bloggers to focus on science, creating my blog (“Quark Soup”) in 2002. I believe I was made to be a science journalist -- for me it is the perfect combination of scientific rigor and literary creativity. Most of all allows me to continually learn about many different areas of knowledge and talk in-depth to the people thinking about them. Since I have a firm background in science (a Ph.D. in theoretical physics), I can dig deeply into scientific papers, and I try to understand the work as close to its first principles as possible. Sometimes that means spending a few hours trying to derive one of its equations, or trying to independently analyze some of its data, or reserving an hour each day to work through a few chapters of a textbook on the subject. Having spent over 5 years doing research at a first-class research institution – the Institute for Theoretical Physics at Stony Brook University – I feel I have some special insights into how scientists work and think, and of their values and worldviews. I try to use this in my writing, especially by going into nooks and crannies other writers might overlook and by trying to speak to scientists more on their terms and then translating that for my readers. As a writer I know there is no substitute for direct interaction with scientists – for seeing their enthusiasms, their doubts, and for looking at their equipment and facilities. This is especially important for writing profiles of scientists and longer pieces about their work, which I prefer, since I try hard to capture this color, of both people and machines. The opportunity to attend the UC-HiPACC Journalism Boot Camp would be a great way to hear about these newest ideas, since for a feature writer press releases are passé and papers sometimes stiff at first. Plus, I always have a million questions about everything, and phone calls can only last so long. I’ve found that it is often little things I hear at conferences or workshops that I’m able to expand into articles, or ideas that I’m able to combine into an article with a new perspective, such as an article I’m writing now on how the arc of the climate problem parallels that of space debris, with a lag of a few decades that illustrates the dangers of avoiding a problem or studying it too long. For me, this Boot Camp would be a veritable buffet of ideas. http://www.davidappell.com/ 15 254 N 2nd St Apt A, St Helens, OR 97051 503-975-5614 503-975-5614 david.appell@gmail.com david.appell@gmail.com david.appell@gmail.com M 14 http://www.davidappell.com david.appell@gmail.com 503-975-5614 254 N 2nd St, Apt A, St Helens, OR 97051 freelance freelance freelance science journalist A Appell David 21

Los Angeles Times, Mar. 11, 2012. This Sunday feature traced the genesis and development of Solar Probe Plus, the first mission to touch the Sun. The story stitched together a high-tech narrative involving more than a dozen different players over half a century, and analyzed the key aspects of solar physics that the mission would be able to study — and those that it would not. The story also dug into dissent by scientists who were not chosen for the mission and who criticized the instrument selection. "Hunting for good bugs to fight bad bugs." Los Angeles Times, Sept. 24, 2011. This feature traced the journey of two entomologists — a husband-and-wife duo — who have crossed the globe looking for parasitic insects to help fight the damage wrought by invasive species, and bring them back to study in a high-security facility in California. Whether it’s a good idea to introduce more non-native species into the environment remains an open question, even as the practice continues. "Carnivorous plants losing ground in the U.S." Los Angeles Times, Sept. 8, 2010. This story follows one biologist as he heads into the forests of Northern California looking for lost populations of carnivorous plants. It looks at the decline of carnivorous plants across the United States, due in part to poaching and the destruction of their habitat. "Total solar eclipse fans chase a moment in the sun." Los Angeles Times, July 10, 2010. Fun story looks at the solar-eclipse chasing culture in the run-up to the summer 2010 eclipse that crossed Tahiti — both the amateurs who do it for the thrill and the scientists who do it for a few minutes of valuable knowledge about the sun. "Bilingualism good for the brain, researchers say. "Los Angeles Times, Feb. 26, 2011. The politics of bilingual education may be controversial, but the science is not.

In the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the chemicals used to clean up the mess were under almost as much suspicion as the oil itself.

On deadline when jumbo squid invaded Newport Beach, I’ve tracked down amateur midnight squid hunters through Twitter. These may seem like different approaches, but they’re based on the same principle: If it’s a great story, I’ll pursue it with any resources at my disposal. I fell into science writing at the Los Angeles Times much as I tumbled down that ravine — except with far less trepidation, fewer bruises and without ever turning back. I’ve loved every story, perhaps because the scientists I’ve interviewed are generally passionate about what they’ve chosen to do — and passion is often what makes a story great. Beyond the human interest factor, physics provides its fair share of jaw-dropping moments: Stars explode, black holes devour and neutrinos briefly appear to shatter fundamental laws of physics and decency. But computational astronomy is, at its core, harder to bring to life. You cannot hold a computer algorithm in your hand. It doesn’t bite, or smoke ominously, contribute to global warming or have any panic-inducing ill health effects. Luckily, what’s equally fascinating is the ‘how’ of the scientific process: how a team of geologists looks at fossilized raindrops to arrive at conclusions about the Earth’s early atmosphere, or how a scientist deduces that the sounds generated by the Sun must somehow predict sunspots. Readers want to be part of that process of discovery and realization. That’s why, rather than gloss over details to get to the punch line, I prefer to take the time to break the science down for readers, whether it’s explaining the relationship between solar flares and coronal mass ejections, or carefully delineating the difference between dark matter, antimatter and dark energy. This boot camp would provide an invaluable experience for me. Alongside derring-do, Twitter magic and the other story-finding methods in my arsenal, this computational astrophysics boot camp would give me a tool to write about complex science in a clear and engaging way. The more in-depth knowledge I have of how computer simulations can help track the evolution of the cosmos, or explain what happens as a star’s core collapses and goes supernova, the more confidently, succinctly and powerfully I will be able to convey what is truly fascinating and powerful science. And in a culture often more concerned with the antics of Hollywood starlets than the inner workings of actual stars, the more effectively that science journalists like me can tell great stories, the better. 5 906 S.

A year later I moved to Lidove noviny, a Czech daily newspaper, where I worked as science reporter in the weekly supplement “Science”. My favorite topic in science reporting were always astrophysics, cosmology and everything connected to the universe, but also genetics, which was very “hot topic” around the first publication of the human genome. I also frequently reported (and I still do) on climate change, sources of energy, biodiversity loss and other global issues on the intersection of technology, development and environment. In 2004 I was awarded the Knight Science Journalism Fellowship at MIT and spent an academic year in Boston, taking classes at MIT (introduction to molecular biology and genetics, a basic course in astronomy, etc...) and Harvard. The lectures at Harvard made me very interested in human evolution, about which I wrote a popular science book after I came back to my country. Since 2006 I have been working in a Czech weekly magazine Respekt, where I am responsible for the section called “Civilization”. I write stories mostly, but not exclusively for this section. I also edit stories from external contributors and staff reporters. I am interested in the universe from childhood, when I was big fan of science fiction. In recent years I have the opportunity to visit the United States several times as journalist and some of the reporting I did was driven by this passion (several symposia at AAAS meetings, a story about Fermilab or interview with cosmologist Andrei Linde). I think that the “From Planets to Cosmos” boot camp would be a very good opportunity to learn new things, identify interesting topics for stories, meet like-minded people and talk to outstanding scientists. http://respekt.ihned.cz/zkumavka/ (science blog co-authored by Ondrej Nezbeda) 16 Palackeho 204/32, Lysa n.L., 28922, Czech Republic +420-731154908 +420-731154908 maruhlir@seznam.cz uhlir@respekt.cz uhlir@respekt.cz M 6 http://respekt.ihned.cz/ uhlir@respekt.cz +420-233074559 Dobrovskeho 25, Prague 7, 17055, Czech Republic Respekt weekly magazine staff Mr. Uhlir Martin 22

Donna Hesterman CV1331661706.docx When I accepted a position as a science writer at the University of Florida, I knew that I would be writing stories outside my field of expertise, wildlife biology. But I figured that the same skills that got me through organic chemistry and genetics would also get me through self-lead cram-fests in cosmology and physics when my duties required me to cover news from the astronomy department. They didn’t. My most recent attempt at a feature story dealt with university research in support of NASA’s Laser Interferometer Satellite Antenna. The story required that I get from the Theory of General Relativity, to dark matter, to gravitational waves, to a one-paragraph description of the LISA mission before I could even attempt to broach the subject of the role our people were playing in the project. It was an astronomical disaster. I lacked the confidence to be elegant and easy with my prose, and I collapsed when the researcher pushed back with clunky, lifeless jargon to describe the research. I knew it was wrong. My training in the UC Santa Cruz Science Writing Program had taught me so. But there I was, my subject matter insecurities weighing me down like a pocket full of kryptonite. The worst part is that our astronomy department desperately needs some media love, and if I can’t generate it for them, there is a real price to pay. UF’s astronomy department has added a few new star researchers to their faculty in recent years, but they have done so on the heels of a rather damaging review of the program in 2008. In other words, they are climbing out of a deep black hole, and good press can give them some badly needed cover while they rebuild their reputation. A science/engineering journalism boot camp focusing on computational astronomy could really make a difference in how well I serve my current employer and significantly broaden the beat I hope to cover in the future as a freelancer. I live two hours from the Kennedy Space Center, and would very much like to be a strong voice for the people who are working diligently to re-energize Florida’s Space Coast. I don’t think that it’s necessary for me to get another degree in astronomy to do that, but I could sure use some help finding the right words. 2 222 Jessie Lee Ct, Green Cove Springs, FL 32043 904.291.8245 334.421.1218 donna.hesterman@gmail.com donna.hesterman@gmail.com donna.hesterman@gmail.com F <1 http://www.research.ufl.edu/explore/ donna.hesterman@gmail.com 352.846.2573 305 Walker Hall, PO Box 115500 University of Florida Office of Research Communications staff Science Writer L Hesterman Donna 11

I started out pitching small features about new technology or scientific research. In April 2010, I was commissioned to write daily blog updates and larger magazine-length feature articles. Key subjects include astronomy; biotechnology; space science and physics; conservation biology (especially white-nose syndrome in bats); and more. Popular Science - Ongoing Monthly science and technology magazine I have written several articles for the magazine since September 2010. Key subjects include food-related consumer technology; new light bulb designs; research using radar to study bats and birds in flight; and a new treatment for liver cancer. Chill - August 2011 A Canadian men's interest magazine Commissioned to write about “Predictions for 2061” to mark the magazine's 50th issue. I interviewed futurists and researchers about the future of medicine, travel and technology. PARADE - July 2011 Sunday newspaper insert with 70 million readers Commissioned to write three pieces about the future of NASA in the wake of the space shuttles' retirement. I covered space tourism, NASA's most prominent robotic missions, and the year ahead in space exploration.

St. Louis Business Journal - Ongoing Weekly newspaper covering the local business community Intermittently since November 2009, I have written full-length features about the technical challenges of building a dam; technology in the workplace; cloud computing and cancer research, among other topics. Resume 1-20121332881009.pdf Dear Judges, I think it’s fitting that I am writing this essay while pausing work on a feature about the world’s largest radio telescope. The Square Kilometer Array, which will be featured online in Popular Science soon, is a radio astronomy project that will only become possible as computing power increases. Along with breakthroughs for the information industry, the exascale revolution will enable new types of scientific research that wouldn’t be possible without the most powerful computers in the world. This story is a perfect example of why I would love to attend the University of California’s boot camp on Computational Astronomy: From Planets to Cosmos. I write about exoplanets, light curves, stellar spectroscopy and cosmology on a regular basis, but I am not a scientist, so sometimes it can be difficult to see past the petaflops and truly make sense of a project. It can also be difficult to convince editors — and sometimes readers — of why they should care about complex, data-intense research. It would be wonderful to meet with researchers at UC-HiPACC so I can better understand the techniques behind the science in greater depth, and bring further clarity to my reporting and writing. I was especially intrigued by the program’s description of accurately portraying complex science when deadlines and space limitations are pushing toward briefer stories. One of my main roles as a freelancer has been to write blog posts for Popular Science magazine, where brevity and speed are necessary. I am always looking for ways to improve my understanding of my story subjects so I can describe them honestly and accurately while keeping readers engaged. Along the way, I have also branched out to full-length features for the website, covering astronomy and data-driven research in much more depth. Earlier in life, my goal was to do this type of research, not just write about it. I went to Space Camp as a fifth grader, Sea Camp in high school and physics class in college with every intention of becoming a scientist. But I ultimately realized I was much better at writing about fish and space shuttles than I was at handling blood or quadratic equations. If I wasn’t going to be a scientist, at least I could tell their stories — so I grew up to be a journalist instead. In nine years as a reporter — three as a full-time freelance science writer — I have been fortunate to cover some of the most exciting research in modern science, from neutrino hunting to dark matter to the Kepler space telescope’s exoplanet cornucopia. But there’s so much more for me to learn. I would love the opportunity to attend this boot camp and learn how astronomers do their work with the most modern tools of the trade. I think it would help me serve all my audiences, from my editors to my readers to the astronomers themselves. I hope you consider me, and please let me know if you need any additional information.

These generally include a single educational oriented topic that I research and write myself along with two or more space oriented news items. Because I am self-employed, I do not have editorial reference. Resume - Jason Carr 20121331347913.pdf While much of my career thus far has been of an entrepreneurial nature, I am now at the point in my life that teaching and writing are more appealing from a professional perspective. I am entering two graduate programs - M.Ed. Instructional Design and M.S. Astronomy program - in the fall and this would be an exceptional pre-cursor to beginning this educational journey. While I have blogged and written for years, astronomy is a subject that I've only recently begun to cover. This boot camp would not only lay the foundation for my graduate studies, but improve my currently limited understanding so that I might become a better writer in the future. I realize I likely am not what you're looking for in an attendee but I do have a lot to offer and appreciate your consideration nonetheless. I am willing to pay my own way if needed because I am sincerely interested in this opportunity.
