The Natural Hazards Center is happy to welcome Susan Moran to our team beginning with DR612. Moran, who is an accomplished Boulder-based freelance journalist, will provide editing for DR on an interim basis while we continue the search for key staff members. We’re excited to have her aboard and have access to her wealth of expertise covering energy development, climate science, environmental health, agriculture, business, and other issues.
Currently, in addition to print freelancing, Moran co-hosts and produces a science show on KGNU community radio, called "How On Earth." Her articles appear in The New York Times, The Economist, Discover, Popular Science, Nature and other publications. She also sometimes helps teach science communication workshops for early-career scientists and graduate students.
For several years she taught journalism at CU Boulder as an adjunct instructor. Moran was a Knight Science Journalism Fellow at MIT; a Marine Biological Laboratory fellow at Palmer Station, Antarctica; and a Ted Scripps Environmental Journalism Fellow at CU Boulder.
