Science Journalist Jennie Erin Smith
November 5, 2014
This fall, the College of Journalism and Communications launched its Science Journalist in-Residence program to bring some of the nation’s most accomplished science writers to UF.
On Nov. 5 in Pugh Hall, the Bob Graham Center co-sponsored the first lecture by Jennie Erin Smith titled “Reptiles, Smugglers and Skullduggery: Environmental Reporting in the Underworld.” Smith is a reporter, writer and reviewer specializing in science and natural history, with a longtime interest in zoos, museums, animals and conservation. For several years Smith worked as an environmental reporter in Florida, where she developed many of the contacts needed to write the critically acclaimed 2012 book Stolen World: A Tale of Reptiles, Smugglers and Skullduggery; currently she writes for the Wall Street Journal, the Times Literary Supplement, McSweeney’s, and various other publications.
