Rosalind Reid has been Editor of American Scientist, the interdisciplinary magazine of Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society, since 1992. Since joining the magazine staff as an associate editor in 1990, she has collaborated with dozens of scientists and engineers to develop illustrated articles on their research and on a range of professional and social issues related to science. Ms. Reid came to the magazine from a career in news writing and editing. After receiving baccalaureate degrees in political science and journalism from Syracuse University, she worked as a reporter at daily newspapers in Maine and North Carolina, earning awards from both state press associations for her columns and investigative and news reporting. She holds a master's degree in public policy sciences from Duke University, which she attended as an HEW Public Service Fellow. Ms. Reid began writing and editing articles about science and engineering in 1984 while on the staff of North Carolina State University, which she served as assistant news director and research news editor until 1990. At American Scientist her editorial projects have focused on physics research and issues in the conduct and societal role of science. During her tenure as Editor, the magazine has won numerous awards (including, for 2001 and 2002, Gold and Silver awards for General Excellence in the Society of National Association Publications' Excel competition). Recently she directed the development of American Scientist Online (launched in May 2003), a fully illustrated content database and suite of online services. Ms. Reid conducts workshops for scientists on communicating science through pictures at Sigma Xi meetings and teaches an annual course module at Duke University on the public communication of science. She is a member of the National Association of Science Writers. |
