Ed Yong is a British science journalist. He writes the blog Not Exactly Rocket Science, which is currently published as part of the National Geographic Phenomena blog network. His writing has also appeared in scientific journals such as Nature, traditional popular science media such as Scientific American, and general-interest media such as The New York Times and The New Yorker.[1][2] In 2015 he joined the staff of The Atlantic.[3]
Yong's approach to popular science writing has been described as "the future of science news",[4] and he has received numerous awards for his work. Yong received the National Academies Communication Award from the United States National Academy of Sciences in 2010 in recognition of his online journalism, then part of Discover Magazine's blog group. In the same year he received three awards from ResearchBlogging.org, which supports online science journalism focused on coverage of peer-reviewed research for a public audience.[5][6] In 2012 he received the National Union of Journalists Stephen White Award.[7] His blog received the first Best Science Blog award from the Association of British Science Writers in 2014.[8]
Yong's interactions with other science bloggers and engagement with commenters on his own blog have served as case studies for academic work in media studies.[9][10][11]:251-63
