Nutrition science is a young science,” said Michael Pollan in accepting the 2015 Bradford Washburn Award at the Museum on October 22. “We’ve only been at it for about 200 years. Right now, in my estimation, nutrition science is approximately where surgery “ was in the year 1650. It’s going to get a lot better. It’s going to be worth paying attention to. But it’s a primitive science. Digestion, food metabolism are miracles that we still only dimly understand. One example. We are all learning about the importance of the microbiome. Only about 10% of your cells belong to you. The rest belong to the bacteria and microbes. Their health is critical to your health.”
Pollan, the author of the bestsellers Cooked, Food Rules, and The Omnivore’s Dilemma, among other books, is the John S. and James L. Knight Professor of Journalism at UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism, and the director of the Knight Program in Science and Environmental Journalism. A contributing writer to The New York Times Magazine since 1987, he received the James Beard Award for best magazine series in 2003 and the President’s Citation Award from the American Institute of Biological Sciences in 2009, among many other distinguished honors.
The award citation, which was presented by Joshua Boger, vice chair of the board of trustees, commended Top: Michael Pollan with medal for 2015 Bradford Washburn Award Pollan for being “a zealous ambassador for healthy eating,” and for inspiring his readers to “recognize food as not just fuel but rather as Right, clockwise: Joy Zhong and community, family, and one of the ways we construct our identity.” David Lu; Laurie McEachern, Joy Lucas, and Charmaine Matthews; Named for the Museum’s founding director, Bradford Washburn, the Nancy Dempze, Tori Riccardi, Pam award has been presented annually since 1964 to individuals who Lassiter; Joel Dawson and Jack embody Washburn’s spirit of adventure and his ability to translate Turner; Becky and Sandy Saunders with Marion and David Ellis and interpret science, technology, engineering, and mathematics for the public.
Pollan joins a notable list of past Washburn Award honorees, including Michael Bloomberg, Walter Cronkite, Jane Goodall, Jacques Cousteau, Sally Ride, Isaac Asimov, Atul Gawande, Alan Alda, and Neil deGrasse Tyson.

In a video produced for the event, Rick talked about a few Museum highlights in recent years, including our K—12 engineering curri- cula, the Hall of Human Life, and The Science Behind Pixar. “When I talk to people about why the Museum is important, I say it’s because we need a healthy economy. We need a healthy democracy. We need voters who understand why changes are taking place and where they potentially can lead. This Museum is about the future. This Museum is about new ideas. It’s about the future of kids. It’s about their ability to grow, to realize their potential. And that’s the kind of organization that we like to support.”

ASTC LEADING EDGE AWARD TO LARRY BELL The Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC) recently honored Larry Bell, senior vice president, with the Roy L. Shafer Leading Edge Award for Leadership in the Field, at the Palais de congress de Montreal, Quebec, Canada, during ASTC’s annual conference. “Larry Bell has an unsurpassed knowledge of—and passion for—informal STEM education,” said Anthony Rock, ASTC president and CEO. “A fantastic partner on important projects that serve our entire field, he has earned tremendous respect from his peers.” In recognizing Bell’s impact, ASTC highlighted three innovations that have shaped visitor engagement with science across the field of informal science education: his groundbreaking Science Is an Activity exhibit plan; Forums, a new museum learning model for informed decision-making; and a first-of-a-kind national Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network involving the public in cutting-edge science, engineering, and technology. “We are thrilled by ASTC’s recognition of Larry,” says Museum of Science president and director Ioannis Miaoulis. “His extraordinary intellect, creativity, and vast experience in the design of interactive exhibits and programs have shaped the educational process and impact of the Museum for over four decades.”
