Rick Borchelt, appointed Director of Science Communication at DOE's Office of Science

"The Office of Science has the unique ability, by virtue of its research grounding and its proximity to the research bench, to fundamentally change the way that the Department of Energy communicates about science and the value of basic research. In fact, it is possible that judicious support for communications research and a commitment to science communication as an enterprise within the Office could, in fact, make DOE the de facto model for Federal best-practice science public affairs."
