Next week, Reporter Nights continues with two live events featuring top science reporters and editors.
Claudia Dreifus, SPS Lecturer in Professional Studies and contributor to The New York Times and The New York Review of Books, will moderate thought-provoking conversations with The Washington Post’s Margaret Sullivan (7/28) and a panel of top science reporters and editors including The New York Times Science Correspondent, Apoorva Mandavilli, Jeffery DelViscio, Senior Multimedia Editor at Scientific American, John Timmer, Senior Science Editor at Ars Technica, and Katherine Bagley, Managing Editor of Yale Environment 360 (7/30).
Presented by Columbia University’s School of Professional Studies’ M.S. in Sustainability Management program, Reporter Nights represent another way Columbia is bringing its world-class community of scholars and practitioners to students this summer. We invite you to experience this dynamic community in action and engage in the conversations that are shaping the world and driving innovation as we navigate the “new normal” and beyond. Only at Columbia.
Previous Reporter Nights featured Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist from The New Yorker, and John Schwartz, who covers climate change for the Times, and Harvard science historian Naomi Oreskes, the author of Why Trust Science and Merchants of Doubt.
