Science in Society


Sept. 30, 2025

The National Association of Science Writers and its Awards Committee are pleased to announce the winners of the 2025 NASW Science in Society Journalism Awards. This year, NASW is awarding prizes in six categories: Books, Science Reporting, Science Features, Longform Narratives, Series, and Commentary. The winners are:

   In the Books category, The Cancer Factory by Jim Morris, executive director and editor-in-chief at Public Health Watch, published by Beacon Press.
   In the Science Reporting category, “Dire straits for the Panama Canal” by science and environmental journalist James Dinneen, for New Scientist.
   In the Science Features category, “This father built a gene therapy for his son. Now comes the harder part: saving others’ children, too” by Jason Mast, general assignment reporter for STAT.
   In the Longform Narratives category, “This Grim but Revolutionary DNA Technology is Changing How We Respond to Mass Disasters” by independent journalist Erika Hayasaki for MIT Technology Review.
   In the Series category, “Coercive Care” by Eric Boodman, general assignment reporter for STAT.
   In the Commentary category, “The Digital Planet” by science and environmental journalist Michelle Nijhuis for The New York Review of Books.

The award winners in each category will receive or share a cash prize of $2,000. The 2025 NASW Awards will be presented on Sunday, Nov. 9, in Chicago, Ill., as part of the ScienceWriters2025 national conference.

Jim Morris photo Jim Morris Credit: Margaret Morris Praise for the 2025 Books Winner: Published by Beacon Press in November 2024, The Cancer Factory by Jim Morris is an in-depth chronicling of one of the worst occurrences of workplace-related cancer in the United States. For decades, workers at a single Goodyear plant in Niagara Falls were regularly and knowingly exposed to deadly carcinogenic chemicals, which resulted in a large cluster of bladder cancer cases.

The judges describe The Cancer Factory as a searing indictment of systemic injustice, with Morris drawing upon many decades of reporting to reveal a pattern of corporate deception and regulatory failure. “Blending meticulous investigation with gripping storytelling, Morris exposes one of the most devastating (and one of the most underreported) occupational health crises in American history,” the judges said. “With safety regulations facing renewed threats, The Cancer Factory is, tragically, more timely than ever.”

James Dinneen photo James Dinneen Praise for the 2025 Science Reporting Winner: Published in the Feb. 10, 2024, issue of New Scientist, “Dire straits for the Panama Canal” by James Dinneen explores how climate change has affected water levels in the waterway’s central lake, slowing ship traffic and highlighting the urgent need for an innovative upgrade.

“A difficulty of covering climate change is illustrating this catastrophic phenomenon that is invisible to the human eye,” the judges said. Dinneen “overcomes this barrier by focusing on climate change's impacts. The story braids together the visible impacts of long-term drought on the Panama Canal with the climate science that undergirds the drought, and the economic and social consequences if we allow climate change to continue unchecked.”

Praise for the 2025 Science Features Winner: Published Dec. 9, 2024 in STAT, “This father built a gene therapy for his son. Now comes the harder part: saving others’ children, too” by Jason Mast is the story of Terry Pirovolakis, a 45-year-old former IT professional who championed a cure for his son’s rare genetic disease and became a beacon for other such families.

The judges praised the story for deftly layering Pirovolakis' quest for a treatment for his son with a drug development system that views such disorders as not being profitable enough to treat, and his experiences with other families in a similar position. “Mast creates a deeply researched, well written, compelling narrative,” the judges said. “It's one that highlights deep fractures in a drug development system where the ability to generate novel gene therapies outstrips its ability to deliver them.”

Erika Hayasaki Erika Hayasaki Credit: Emily Davis Praise for the 2025 Longform Narratives Winner: In “This Grim but Revolutionary DNA Technology is Changing How We Respond to Mass Disasters,” published May 15, 2024, in MIT Technology Review, Erika Hayasaki explores how rapid DNA analysis helped identify victims of Maui’s deadly fires, swiftly bringing closure to grieving families in the wake of the disaster. The technology’s use has become more prevalent with the rise in frequency of catastrophic events.

“This story grabs you from the start,” the judges said. “Hayasaki has expertly woven together one family’s harrowing story with a kaleidoscopic examination of genetic identification technology. Along the way, we explore the intersection of science and technology with our new age of increased natural disasters, as well as the cultural experience of those who have every reason to be wary of technological promises made in the name of progress.”

Eric Boodman photo Eric Boodman Credit: Madeleine Jubilee Saito Praise for the 2025 Series Winner: Published in STAT between May and December 2024, “Coercive Care” by Eric Boodman delves into how doctors — even in recent years, despite updated guidelines — have pressured patients with sickle cell disease into unwanted sterilizations, sometimes by misrepresenting the risks.

The series is “an absolute triumph of reporting and storytelling,” the judges said. “Boodman’s examination of the sterilization of sickle-cell patients gives an honest account of how policies ostensibly designed to help and protect women have led to far-reaching unintended consequences. The series is full of great stories of individual people, at once harrowing, empathetic and illuminating.”

Michelle Nijhuis photo Michelle Nijhuis Credit: Darcy Hunter Praise for the 2025 Commentary Winner: In “The Digital Planet,” published in April 2024 in The New York Review of Books, Michelle Nijhuis builds off of her thoughtful and perceptive review of two books to make the case that digital technologies can help to restore and protect ecosystems.

“Nijhuis blends probing insights with vivid storytelling in this masterful exploration of the paradoxes and possibilities at the intersection of technology and ecology,” the judges said. “From zebra-stripe algorithms to satellite-tracked whales, Nijhuis explores the promise and peril of tech-driven environmentalism with clarity, urgency, and imagination.”
