"Safer Salads" Article From American Scientist Wins National Award
As the U.S. goes through yet another scare
over contaminated produce, this time involving an outbreak of Salmonella
in tomatoes, an article called "Safer Salads" from American Scientist
magazine has won a major award from the Society of National Association
Publications (SNAP).
The award-winning article addresses why produce contaminated by E. coli
and other pathogens is more common than ever, and what consumers can do
to protect themselves.
The authors conclude with a discussion of best practices from the field
to the table and describe new research into post-harvest treatments that
may minimize consumer risk in the near future. The full text of the
article, from the November-December 2007 issue of the magazine, is
available online.
American Scientist is the bimonthly, illustrated magazine of science and
technology published by Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society.
The authors of "Safer Salads," Jorge M. Fonseca and Sadhana Ravishankar,
are specialists in the field of microbiological crop-safety research.
Fonseca is a professor and vegetable/post-harvest specialist at the
University of Arizona's Yuma Agricultural Center, and Ravishankar is a
research professor in veterinary science and microbiology at the
University of Arizona in Tucson.
"Safer Salads points out that produce contamination, while in the news
sporadically, is more common than many people realize," said David
Schoonmaker, acting editor of American Scientist. "We should be
exercising caution at all times. There are things we can do to reduce
the risks."
The article received a Bronze EXCEL Award in the Feature Article
category. The cover of the September-October 2007 issue also won a
Silver EXCEL Award in the Cover Illustration category.
The cover was created by Martin Krzywinski of Canada's Michael Smith
Genome Sciences Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia, for an article
called Genetics and the Shape of Dogs" by Elaine A. Ostrander. Ostrander
is chief of the Cancer Genetics Branch at the National Human Genome
Research Institute of the National Institutes of Health.
The circular diagram depicts some of the overlapping patterns discovered
in the dog and human genomes after the dog genome was fully sequenced in
2005. Selected human (top, blue outer band) and dog (bottom, orange
outer band) chromsomes are arranged around the circle, with bands
connecting regions of homology between the two species.
"The cover graphic is a dramatic visual representation of some of the
chromosomal connections between the dog and human genomes," Schoonmaker
said. "It helps readers understand how physical differences between dogs
and humans, and between one dog and another, can be so large, even
though they share much genetically."
The 28th annual SNAP EXCEL Awards were presented June 10 during a dinner
in Washington, D.C.
SNAP is a non-profit professional society serving the needs of
association publishers and communications professionals. The annual
EXCEL awards program judges more than 1,000 magazines, newsletters,
scholarly journals, electronic publications and Web sites in the areas
of editorial quality, design, general excellence, most improved and
more.
American Scientist magazine traces its origin back to 1913. Each issue
is filled with feature articles written by prominent scientists and
engineers, reviewing important work in fields that range from molecular
biology to computer engineering. In recent years the magazine has been
honored with many awards for editorial, design and illustration quality.
Founded in 1886, Sigma Xi is the international honor society of research
scientists and engineers, with more than 500 chapters at colleges and
universities, government laboratories and industry research centers.
Membership is by invitation, in recognition of research potential or
achievement. Over the years, more than 200 Sigma Xi members have
received the Nobel Prize. http://www.sigmaxi.org
In addition to publishing American Scientist , the non-profit society
awards hundreds of grants annually to student researchers and sponsors a
variety of programs that support science and engineering.
