Join CASW Connector for a lively virtual chat with top investigative reporters Charles Piller of Science and Liza Gross of Inside Climate News.

Piller is the recipient of CASW’s 2025 Victor Cohn Prize for Excellence in Medical Science Reporting. His high-impact reporting has led the National Institutes of Health to suspend a clinical trial and raised questions about the role of amyloid proteins in Alzheimer’s disease, as he detailed in his 2025 book, Doctored: Fraud, Arrogance, and Tragedy in the Quest to Cure Alzheimer’s.

Gross’ reporting focuses on toxics, environmental health and justice, and the misuse of science for private gain. She has won several awards and is the author of The Science Writers’ Investigative Reporting Handbook: A Beginner’s Guide to Investigations.

At this Connector Chat, Gross will interview Piller about his Alzheimer’s investigations and the pair will discuss the tools they find useful in their investigative reporting. Gross will also curate a resource list for science journalists interested in pursuing investigative stories.

Come with questions and with your own suggestions for investigative resources. A complete Tipsheet, including Gross’ resource list, will be shared with all registrants after the webinar.
