About Ivan Oransky

Thanks for visiting The Oransky Journal. I’m Ivan Oransky, the executive editor of Reuters Health. I teach medical journalism at New York University’s Science, Health, and Environmental Reporting Program, and I’m the treasurer of the Association of Health Care Journalists.The views here do not necessarily represent those of any of those organizations.

In the past, I’ve been managing editor, online, of Scientific American, deputy editor of The Scientist, and editor-in-chief of the now-defunct Praxis Post. For three years, I taught in the health and medicine track at the City University of New York’s Graduate School of Journalism.

I earned my bachelor’s at Harvard, where I was executive editor of The Harvard Crimson, and my MD at the New York University of School of Medicine.

I also blog, with Adam Marcus, at Retraction Watch, and on my own at Embargo Watch. For more on what this blog is about, see its inaugural post. Follow me on Twitter — @ivanoransky — or email me at ivan-oransky at erols.com.
