Ms. Weise Verified

Ms. Elizabeth Weise is working as a biotechnology and science writer at USA Today. She covers the scientific, medical and technological applications of biotech and nanotech with a special emphasis on the political, cultural, ethical and social implications of their use. She also covers topics such as agriculture, ag-tech, and hard science that spans across the world, and would appeal to a large population. [CR-LF][CR-LF]She does not cover business which she often gets information sent on. She will receive information by email and does not want high resolution pictures or attachments unless requested by her. A tip that she has for public relation professionals is to research her and the publication before trying to contact her, so one knows what she writes and covers. The best way for a story idea or pitch to grab her attention would be something established or printed from an established science journal, more specifically Nature or Science, or something that directly impacts readers. [CR-LF][CR-LF]She was a John S. Knight Professional Journalism Fellow at Stanford University (2001-2002). She also participated in another Knight Fellowship program, attending the seminar, Cyberspace. The business organized by the Knight Center for Specialized Journalism at the University of Maryland in October 1996. [CR-LF][CR-LF]Ms. Weise studied anthropology and Chinese studies at the University of Lund in Lund, Sweden and has a bachelor's degree in Swedish language & literature from the University of Washington.
