Description
Join the UF CJC for a discussion with author and Washington Post Staff Writer Christian Davenport, Fall 2024 UF Science Journalist in Residence.
UF’s Science Journalist in Residence Program brings leading science writers to campus to interact with faculty and students. Visiting science journalists give public talks, speak in classes and meet with faculty and students with shared interests across the university.
Christian Davenport covers space for the Washington Post Financial desk. He joined The Post in 2000 and was on a team that won the Peabody award in 2010 for its work on veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury. He has been part of reporting teams that were finalists for the Pulitzer Prize three times.
A frequent commentator on television and radio, he was a producer of “Space: The Private Frontier,” a two-hour documentary that aired on the Discovery and Science Channels, and a producer and co-host of “Space Launch Live,” the networks’ live broadcast of SpaceX’s first crewed mission, which won an Emmy award in 2021 and was the highest rated, non-primetime telecast in Discovery’s history.
He has also served as a Public Policy Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and a fellow at the Alicia Patterson Foundation.
