Congrats @kakape.bsky.social, this year's winner of the Victor Cohn Prize. His work stood out in a very strong field of contenders. casw.org/news/kai-kup...
Also very cool: This means that I will be at ScienceWriters2026 in Oregon in a few weeks. Love meeting long-time colleagues or making new connections, so if you see me there and feel like it, do say hi!
Feeling very honored and grateful today. Some of the journalists whose work I admire most have received this prize in the past and at a time when journalism is under threat in so many ways it’s just really heartening to be recognized by people who care deeply about journalism.
Congratulations to @kakape.bsky.social for winning the 2026 Victor Cohn Prize! Judges called his reporting on infectious diseases and misinformation bold, urgent and groundbreaking.
And big thanks to Michelson Philanthropies for underwriting the award.
Congratulations to @elisecutts.bsky.social for winning the 2026 Clark/Payne Award! Judges praised her ability to cover complex topics like bioelectricity, topology, genetics and climate.

Congratulations to @janeqiu.bsky.social for winning the 2026 Sharon Begley Science Reporting Award! Judges called her work masterful, trailblazing and fearless.
