Lloyd has contributed to almost every realm in science journalism and media. She has been a newspaper reporter, a wire service journalist, a network online journalist, a science communicator (for the American Museum of Natural History, New York City), and a science writer and editor for Space.com, LiveScience, and, for 11 years and continuing, Scientific American. In addition to these outlets, her work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Spectrum, Undark magazine, and on National Public Radio\u2019s website. She holds a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of California, Santa Barbara.<\/p>\n
For her Hill Lecture, Lloyd has chosen the title \u201cThe End of Investigative Science Writing?\u201d She explains: In the past, investigative reporting improved the quality of life through safer drinking water and stricter rules about pesticide use near schools. But things changed.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost science journalists, including myself until recently, failed to publish stories that questioned scientific claims made by community and national leaders, representatives of major industries, and scientists themselves,\u201d Lloyd said. \u201cMy recent reporting on underground pipes has given me new insights into why this is the case.\u201d<\/p>\n
If we don\u2019t preserve investigative reporting on science, environmental gains could be reversed. Lloyd said to avoid that crisis \u201cwill require critical thinking about science writing’s place in society and re-envisioning how we train and employ science journalists.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Hill Lecture series brings distinguished science journalists to campus to share their thoughts on science, society, and the mass media. The lecture series is made possible by an endowment created by Tom Hill and Mary Frances Hill Holton in honor of their parents, Alfred and Julia Hill, founders of The Oak Ridger. The Hill family’s endowment of the lecture series was a gift to the UT School of Journalism & Electronic Media in the College of Communication & Information.<\/p>\n
The College of Nursing Auditorium, site of this year\u2019s Hill Lecture, is at 1200 Volunteer Boulevard on the UT campus. Free parking is available on Circle Park Drive and in nearby lots after 4 p.m. Refreshments will be served before and after the lecture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
