Fellow for Best Practices: Covering Science in Cyberspace
Vikki Valentine joined National Public Radio in 2001 as its first science and health Web producer. She creates multi-dimensional stories working in a number of formats — text, video, animation, sound — on topics ranging from cloning and the nature of language to an interactive feature examining the number of military and civilian fatalities in Iraq. Valentine specializes in historical features, with on-air and Web reports on topics such as the first surgeon to correct vision, war medicine, the origins of the 1918 pandemic flu, what dinner was like with our first president, and Mao Zedong's "Barefoot Doctors." She also edits the listeners' questions series for Morning Edition's Your Health segment, connecting NPR's audience with the latest advice from medical experts on topics such as sleep, weight loss, back pain and Lasik eye surgery. Prior to NPR, Valentine worked as a daily science news editor at Discovery.com and as a features editor at BaltimoreSun.com. Valentine has an M.A. from the Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine at University College London.
