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.

Jannel founded GINA for Missing Persons FOUNDation after the disappearance of her sister, Gina, in 2000. 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.
