I’ve been fortunate that Holden Thorp, Editor-in-Chief of the Science family of journals, provides steadfast support for my journalism, and that of my Science colleagues. 6/7

This work would have been impossible without the skill and encouragement of my editors – Tim Appenzeller, @john-travis.bsky.social @kellyservick.bsky.social
– and others on the talented Science staff. 5/7

The prize was not for my book, “Doctored: Fraud, Arrogance, and Tragedy in the Quest to Cure Alzheimer’s,” but recognizes key stories that helped frame that larger narrative. My goal: Help readers see that the process of discovery, which I revere, depends on honest science. 3/7

It’s humbling to follow the illustrious journalists who have won in past years. Many of my articles exposed and helped correct misconduct in research associated with Alzheimer’s disease. 2/7
