Seth Shulman, M.A., is an award winning journalist and author who specializes in issues of science, technology, and the environment. In 1985, he was a Knight Science Fellow at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and in 2004, he became MIT's first Dibner Science Writer Fellow. Shulman's Owning the Future, published by Houghton Mifflin Company (1999), raises a sobering alarm about the trend to privatize information and knowledge through the expansion of patents, copyrights and trademarks and asks what this trend will ultimately mean for the future of our democratic society.
Shulman's latest book, Undermining Science: Suppression and Distortion in the Bush Administration, published by University of California Press (2007), is an exposé of the Bush administration's portrayal of scientific research that affect public health, foreign policy, and the environment. Shulman's work has also appeared in journals including Nature and Discover; and in periodicals including Smithsonian, Technology Review, Rolling Stone, the Atlantic Monthly, the Times of London, the Boston Globe, and the Los Angeles Times.
