Chemicals as weapons of war. The history of processed food. What science can tell us about Mona Lisa\u2019s complexion. This is a tiny sampling of what science journalist Sarah Everts has written about over the years for a variety of publications, from the Economist to Scientific American. It\u2019s also an indication of the depth and range she\u2019ll bring when she joins the Journalism program as our new CTV Chair in Digital Science Journalism.<\/p>\n

With a Bachelor of Science in Biophysics, a Master of Science in Chemistry, a Master of Journalism from our own program, and 15 years as a science journalist, Everts is well-positioned to fulfill the mandate of the chair in exciting ways. As well as her regular teaching duties, she\u2019ll play a key role in Journalism\u2019s new Concentration in Health Sciences option, which is launching this fall in partnership with the Faculty of Science.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m delighted to be returning to Carleton,\u201d Everts says. \u201cIt will be an honour to help train the next generation of journalists to report on society\u2019s most pressing science, health and environmental issues\u2014many of which are mired in a challenging combination of controversy, pseudoscience and legitimate uncertainty.\u201d<\/p>\n
