Dennis Meredith: King of Scientific Communications

Talk Show host Dr. Arlene Barro created her WIN Without Competing! show for candidates, employees, entrepreneurs and employers to learn about her Right Fit Method from her guest interviews.

On WIN Without Competing! Dr. Arlene will interview distinguished science writer and communicator Dennis Meredith who is the author of Explaining Research, to be published by Oxford University Press on March 1st, 2010. Meredith, an adventurer, not only writes about science but also lives it. He wrote an article which included photos of what was believed to be the Loch Ness monster. This led to a New York Times-sponsored expedition to Loch Ness. Meredith served as the press officer on this expedition and wrote Search at Loch Ness.

Meredith has had a fascinating career. He ventured on the Loch Ness expedition with Harold “Doc” Edgerton, inventor of the strobe light; prepared the historic news release announcing synthesis of the first artificial gene by Nobel Prize winner Har Gobind Khorana, and helped Nobel Prizewinning physicist Richard Feynman explain his controversial opinions about the cause of the space shuttle Challenger disaster. Meredith worked at some of the country’s leading research universities, including MIT, Caltech, Cornell, Duke and the University of Wisconsin. He has helped science journalists at all the nation’s major newspapers, magazines, and radio and TV networks and has written well over a thousand news releases and magazine articles on science and engineering over his career.

His scientific training as a chemist and biochemist coupled with his passion for communicating accurate scientific findings to the public led him to create and develop, with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the international research and news service – EurekAlert! – which now links more than 4,500 journalists to news from 800 subscribing research institutions. The AAAS honored Meredith in 2007 by electing him as an AAAS Fellow “for exemplary leadership in university communications, and for important contributions to the theory and practice of research communications.”

Here are some of the other adventures that Meredith will share as his career unfolds: tramping across the California desert with seismologists recording microquakes for clues to the shifting crust; standing breathless atop a 14,000-foot Hawaiian mountain peak with astronomers breaking ground for an immense telescope to peer deeper into the cosmos than ever before, and watching a 50-foot research balloon, looking like a giant quivering jellyfish, soar into space carrying an instrument to detect gamma rays from distant astronomical objects.

Join Dr. Arlene as she uncovers what really goes on behind the curtain of science and what people need to know about scientific breakthroughs.

The GINA FOUNDation was featured twice on the Grammy Awards Program along with Jannel and numerous contributing artists, including Meatloaf, Michael C. Ross, Christina Aguilera, Vanessa Carlton, Little Feat and Sheila E.

Annually, Jannel takes her band Clementine on the Squeaky Wheel Tour which is a 19 day event beginning on Gina’s disappearance date and winding down on her birthday. Jannel is considered an expert on call for missing person cases featured on national TV shows such as Nancy Grace.

She was the host of "America Lost and FOUND” and co-hosted the CRN’s Digital Talk Radio “Live from Studio C Street.” The TV show "FINDing Gina," about Jannel and her band, Clemetine, is under development. It's a reality series about a band on the road looking for one of their member's sisters and in the process they meet the families of the missing to help them gain media attention for their loved ones. People are FOUND. Jannel will be the host.

Jannel is the author of 30 Days in a Life that chronicles a specific 30-day period in her life. This book not only gives you a view into the day to day life of this uniquely driven woman, but brings to light how her sister's disappearance has created life lessons and changes she would have never experienced otherwise.

Join Dr. Arlene as she uncovers how Jannel’s passion for music has inspired her to turn tragedy into a mission for helping others.

His 2002 book The New Rabbi—which is in the news again since its main character, beloved and charismatic Rabbi Wolpe, recently died--was highly praised by the New York Times, Washington Post and Boston Globe and featured on "All Things Considered." It was chosen as one of the best books of the year by Publishers Weekly, which said, "Stephen Fried took what many would consider a mundane topic-a Jewish congregation searching for a new rabbi-and turned it into a marvelous journalistic memoir that recorded his own spiritual development as well as a community's quest for leadership" And it was named one of the year's top 10 books on religion and spirituality by beliefnet.com.

Rabbi Gerald Wolpe who died on May 18, 2009 at the age of 81, was married to Dr. Arlene's first cousin Elaine. Fried, writing about Wolpe’s death, said "American Jews lost one of our great sermonizers, one of our most fascinating and challenging pulpit leaders, and a renaissance rabbi whose dramatic life yielded several distinct acts, each with its own powerful teaching moments."

Disclosing Name of Job Seeker who WINS the 2009 Right Fit Award


Los Angeles, CA (barro global search, inc.) April 21, 2009. Founder and CEO Dr. Arlene Barro conducted a nationwide search to find the Right Fit Winner who has been unemployed for six or more months, not read Dr. Arlene’s book WIN Without Competing! Career Success the Right Fit Way nor listened to her radio show. The failed job search strategies of the winner include blasting resumes from Burbank to Bombay. The winner represents the millions of unemployed who are using the same ineffective strategies. Long term unemployment is the result. It’s time to stop taking the Shotgun Road with no destination and switch to the Right Fit Road and hear “You’re Hired.”

In our current economic situation both employees and entrepreneurs should be ready to implement the Right Fit Method in case the ax should fall. New grads entering the workplace with few or no accomplishments need a new way to find a job.

To select the winner, barro global search, inc. did not compare and contrast contestants to identify the best. Instead, we focused on finding one unemployed person who matched the Blueprint of the Right Fit. Wondering why the winner is the Right Fit not the Best?

The Winner
Nat Bothwell, MBA: The Winner of the 2009 Right Fit Award is 38 years old, a bank employee for 12 years after receiving his MBA, who was given two hours notice before losing his job on May 9, 2008 as the corporate Executive Vice President of Marketing of ANB Bancshares in Bentonville, Arkansas, one of the first banks in the country to close its doors, which included 12 locations. At its peak, the Bank had 2+ billion in assets.

Nat is not only searching for the Right Fit Job but also could be searching for the Right Fit spouse or significant other. He lives with his four-year-old dog Tanner who is a Rhodesian Ridgeback.

The Winner WINS
Wednesday, April 22 at 5pm PDT On the WIN Without Competing! show featured on BlogTalkRadio, Dr. Arlene will coach Nat live on how to implement her Right Fit Method (he will be able to apply the Method to find the Right Fit spouse or significant other too) and walk with him down the Right Fit Road. It is up to Nat to change his behavior and get himself ready to hear “You’re Hired.” Dr. Arlene and her listeners will follow and encourage Nat on his journey until he succeeds. Then barro global search, inc. will name Nat the WIN Without Competing! Man and present him with an engraved gift with his new title. From that point forward the phrase “Remember Nat” will remind job seekers to use the Right Fit Method and WIN.
