Welcome to my virtual office
I'm a journalist/editor/producer and—since summer, 2021—instructor for Harvard's journalism program, where I teach classes to aspiring and veteran journalists as well as serve as a capstone director for students seeking their master's degree in journalism.
For the 2020-2021 academic year, I was away studying as a Fellow with the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard, which was about the best possible way to spend the first year of the pandemic.
Previously, I've worked on staff for the Global Virus Network, American Scientist magazine, Science magazine, and for St. Louis Public Radio, part of the NPR network. My freelance client list ranges from international magazines and television networks to regional newspapers to local public radio stations.
My educational background enables me to specialize in physical sciences and economics, but I've covered most sciences as well as health, policy, education, and business. In sum, I'll follow a good story wherever it leads.
So please have a look around my virtual office and be in touch if there's something I may do for you: RobertFrederick (at) NASW (dot) org.
