Fortunately we have been extraordinarily lucky in finding a substitute instructor of at least equal stature and experience in environmental journalism. Frank Clifford, who just a few months ago retired as the environment editor for the Los Angeles Times, will be taking Cory's place. Frank presided over the writing and reporting of the Times's Pulitizer Prize-winning series on the ocean. Before becoming an editor he earned a national reputation as an environmental reporter. His recent work includes an article for Smithsonian magazine about wolf recovery in Yellowstone National Park and a chapter for the new National Geographic book, "Written in Water." He is the author of The Backbone of the World: A Portrait of the Vanishing West Along the Continental Divide. We apologize for the last-minute change but hope you will understand and share our excitement about having Frank onboard. We look forward to seeing you all soon. http://sciwrite.org 03 May 2010 08:00:00 MDT We have posted the class list with instructor assignments at http://sciwrite.org/sciwrite/class2010.html.
