When I reviewed Maryn McKenna’s Book Superbug: The Fatal Menace of MRSA I wrote:
In moments of quiet reverie I often find myself wishing I could dance like Astaire, or maybe sing like Sinatra, or perhaps compose like Gershwin.
But in truth, I’d happily settle for being able to write about science and medicine as well as does Maryn McKenna. (see my full review)
I’m happy to report that others feel the same way about Maryn’s talents. It has just been announced that Maryn will receive the NASW 2011 Science in Society Journalism Award for her book Superbug.
2011 Science in Society Awards
The winners of the 2011 Science in Society Journalism Awards, sponsored by the National Association of Science Writers, are:
In the Book category, Maryn McKenna for her book Superbug: The Fatal Menace of MRSA (Free Press).
In the Science Reporting category, Katy Butler for her New York Times Magazine article, “My Father’s Broken Heart”
In the Science Reporting for a Local or Regional Audience category, Barbara Moran for her Boston Globe Magazine article, “Power Politics.”
In the Commentary or Opinion category, Charles Homans, for his Columbia Journalism Review article, “Hot Air.”
Winners in each category receive a cash prize of $2,500, to be awarded at a reception on October 15, 2011, during the ScienceWriters2011 meeting taking place this year in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Congratulations Maryn. This is a well deserved honor.
And congratulations, of course, go to the other winners as well.
