“You did a great job of interweaving a wide

variety of story elements, some of them fairly

technical, while making them accessible to

'regular folks' with limited knowledge of the science” C.M. (journalist)

“You take just the right tone--telling the sad

truth, but mixing in examples of hope.” B. M.(professor emerita)
