"Biography:
Annalee Newitz...was the recipient of a Knight Science Journalism Fellowship at MIT, and has a Ph.D. in English and American Studies from UC Berkeley."
UC Berkeley grad, lives in San Fraancisco, has no background in science. Perfect NPR guest...
I don't understand the criticism. Ms Newitz is not a scientist. She's a journalist. It's not her job to be an expert, but to gather information from experts.
