Annual Reviews appoints Lindzi Wessel as Reporter for new digital magazine

Nonprofit publisher Annual Reviews is pleased to announce that Lindzi Wessel has been appointed Reporter for the new digital magazine, set to launch October 26th 2017 at the World Conference of Science Journalists in San Francisco, CA. Editor Eva Emerson welcomed her, saying:

I am delighted that Lindzi has joined our small but growing team. As hire number three, she will help to create stories that bridge the gap between our expert reviews and the needs of a wider general audience for engaging and accurate information that explains how science shapes our lives.

Lindzi joins us straight from an internship at Science Magazine as a news and feature writer and has published with STAT and The San Jose Mercury News among others. She is a graduate of the UC Santa Cruz Science Communication program and holds a master’s in neuroscience from UC Davis. 

Knowable Magazine will use various forms of storytelling to explore the life, physical, and social sciences. Review articles from the Annual Review journals serve as springboards for journalistic pieces in Knowable Magazine, including in-depth features, explainers, and even comics. The online-only magazine will focus on explaining the real-world significance of research, punctuated with forays into the wonder of the world around us. This initiative receives support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

Annual Reviews is a nonprofit publisher dedicated to synthesizing and integrating knowledge for the progress of science and benefit of society. Please visit the Annual Reviews Press Center to sign up for media-only access to journal content.
