Science writing poses specific challenges: Science writers must engage their audiences while also explaining unfamiliar scientific concepts and processes. Further, they must illuminate arcane research methods while at the same time cope with scientific ignorance and uncertainty. Stocking's volume not only tackles these challenges, but also includes extraordinary breadth in story selection, from prize-winning narratives, profiles and explanatory pieces to accounts of scientific meetings and new discoveries, Q&A's, traditional trend and issue stories, reviews, essays and blog posts. These Times exemplars, together with Stocking's guide to reading stories about science and technology, are perfect for science writers who aspire to diversify and hone their reporting and writing skills in a changing media climate.

S. Holly Stocking has taught science writing at the graduate and undergraduate levels for more than two decades. Before earning her Ph.D. in mass communication from Indiana University with an emphasis on the public communication of science, she worked as a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, the Associated Press, and the Minneapolis Tribune, and as coordinator of science writing projects for the Boys Town Center for the Study of Youth Development. She has co-edited or co-authored three science-based books, and has been honored as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science for her teaching and research on the public communication of science, and for her service to the public's understanding of science.
