Local Principals, Teachers Attend Biotechnology Event at Wistar Institute

From Ascribe Newsfeed:

Philadelphia high school principals, superintendents, and teachers learned about the growing biotechnology industry and how to prepare students for careers in biotechnology opportunities when the first-ever Biotechnology Day was held February 25 at The Wistar Institute.The winner of the 2008 Wistar Institute Science Journalism Award is Terry McDermott, a Los Angeles Times staff writer.

The judges praised winner McDermott's exhaustive reporting and commended him for bringing to light a scientific problem - how memory is stored - that has defied explanation for decades.

Judges commented that the award-winning entry captured what it is like to work in a research laboratory and "brought the scientific process to life."

They also applauded the Los Angeles Times for devoting significant space to the coverage of basic biomedical research.

The six members of the 2008 judging committee were: Deborah Blum (co-chair), professor of journalism, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a 1992 Pulitzer Prize winner; Joe Palca (co-chair), senior science correspondent for National Public Radio; Sue Goetinck Ambrose, science writer for The Dallas Morning News and a 2004 winner of the award; Robin Marantz Henig, freelance journalist and contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine; Jon Palfreman, independent documentary film producer; and Nancy Shute, senior writer for U.S. News & World Report.

The event was a project of the Biotechnology Education Task Force, a project oforganized by the Life Science Career Alliance, the Wistar Institute, and Community College of Philadelphia, organized the event.

The Life Science Career Alliance is a public/private partnership that includes members representing industry, labor, education, and the workforce investment boards in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties.
