Telling the Stories of People Behind the Research
The ask: The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) wanted to profile grantee researchers’ accomplishments and tell the stories behind the research NIEHS funds.
The solution: MDB developed the NIEHS Stories of Success series, which shares the backstories of trail-blazing environmental health researchers.
We also produce the Grantee Highlights series, which focuses on how NIEHS-funded researchers and community groups can work together to address environmental health challenges.
Our science writers are rigorous in their approach, conducting background research, interviewing sources, and checking facts. We strive to translate complicated science into accessible language so members of the public and experts alike can find inspiration in each story.
Notable outcomes: Since 2012, MDB has written about 20 stories a year that showcase researchers’ work in the environmental health sciences, community engagement, environmental health literacy, environmental health disparities, citizen science, and more.
