I'm so grateful to the judges for highlighting my work on the dismantling of the US scientific enterprise. This award goes out to the brave federal workers who have participated in my stories and helped the public to cut through the noise & chaos. Your stories are being heard.
Congratulations to @maxdkozlov for winning the 2025 Evert Clark/Seth Payne Award! The judges recognized his @Nature investigations of turmoil at the NIH as essential, thorough and timely. Kozlov will be honored in November at #SciWri25. casw.org/news/max-kozlov-win…
