Murrow Award for Excellence in Writing, a five-time winner of first place honors from the Society of Professional Journalists, and the first place winner of the Television Environmental Reporting Award from the Society of Environmental Journalists. As a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Fellow, I received my Master of Arts in Science Journalism from Columbia University in New York, and won the Columbia University Science Thesis Prize for Little Green Men—The Scientific Search for Extraterrestrials, now available as an Amazon Kindle Single.
