Wired into the campus scene

Sally McGrane, MA '03, had a considerable amount of writing experience under her belt when she signed on this spring as the magazine's Corbin Gwaltney Fellow. Before coming to The Writing Workshops at Johns Hopkins to earn her master's degree in non-fiction writing, she lived in California and freelanced (specializing in technology coverage) for The New York Times, Wired magazine, and Forbes ASAP. Our stories took her all over the university--from the streets of Charles Village ( "Saturday Night," February) to the golden bathroom of Evergreen House ( "Gilded Bath a TV Star," April). We'll miss Sally's quirky sense of humor and her knack for honing in on the offbeat.

An engaging read--and interview

"For me, the sign of a good book is when it engages the reader," says writer Gregg A. Wilhelm, who has been involved in book publishing (as an editor, company director, and marketing manager) for more than a decade. He is past president of the Mid-Atlantic Publisher's Association. With Devra Davis' new book When Smoke Ran Like Water, he says, "I found myself talking and even arguing with the book as I read it. Wow!" Wilhelm's interviews with Davis were equally as compelling, he says. "She pulled no punches. Her passion lies in taking science out of the lab and into the community to make a difference." --SD
