About

We’re excited to welcome two extraordinary voices in science journalism to the Tufts campus for our next event: Lighting the Way: How Science Journalism Can Help Us All Navigate a New Dark Age — an inspiring conversation about the power of science journalism in today’s world.

 

Program Highlights

In a time when information is easily distorted and trust in science is under threat, science journalism plays a vital role in helping society understand the world around us.

Join us for a conversation with:

Ferris Jabr (Tufts ’09), New York Times bestselling author of Becoming Earth and contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine

Usha Lee McFarling, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and Director of the Knight Science Journalism Program at MIT

Together, they’ll explore how storytelling and rigorous reporting can illuminate truth — and how we can all apply those lessons in our own lives and careers.
