Pam Frost Gorder is
an assistant director of research and innovation communications. Principally,
she writes news releases and feature stories about research in
the College of Mathematical and Physical Sciences (physics, astronomy,
chemistry, geology, math, and statistics) and the College of
Engineering. She takes a broad interest in technology research,
and is the primary communications contact for university technologies
that have been patented or are available for license. She also
occasionally writes about research in the social sciences, biological
sciences, or business when the research involves technology.
Finally, she helps develop Research Communications’ ever-evolving
strategy for managing electronic information, so she is always
looking for new ways to use the Internet for tracking publications
by Ohio State Faculty, and for tracking the media hits that result
from our news releases. You’ll see her byline in onCampus,
the faculty and staff newspaper, and other publications around
campus that reprint her stories. Pam is an active freelance writer:
her work has appeared in The Sciences, the magazine
for the New York Academy of Sciences; Science World,
a Scholastic, Inc., classroom magazine for junior-high students,
and 21st C: The World of Research at Columbia University.
Most recently, she has written features for various scientific
societies -- including the American Chemical Society, American
Physical Society, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers -- and for the magazine New Scientist. Before
joining the Ohio State staff in 1996, she edited Advanced
Manufacturing Technology, a news service and monthly magazine
about licensable technologies in manufacturing engineering. She
graduated from Ohio State with a B.S. in physics with emphasis
on astronomy in 1993, and in 1995, received an M.A. from New
York University's Science and Environmental Reporting Program,
the first program of its kind in the country. She’s a member
of the National Association of Science Writers and the American
Association for the Advancement of Science.

an assistant director of research and innovation communications. Her primary
responsibility is writing news stories about faculty research
in the health sciences colleges and in biology, food science,
nutrition and natural resources. She also assists with crisis
communications planning. She joined this office in November 2007,
but has been with Ohio State since 1997 and in higher education
communications since 1994, beginning with a job as a writer and

Emily has served as a news services coordinator and as editor
of onCampus, the faculty/staff newspaper. Most recently,
she spent 5 ½ years as assistant director of media relations
in the university’s medical center. There, she began writing

wound healing and sports medicine, and a science writer was born.
Before working in higher education, Emily was a reporter covering
small coastal towns, including Kennebunkport, for the Biddeford
Journal Tribune in southern Maine; her time there coincided
with the first George Bush presidency, and she covered his vacations
as part of her beat. Emily earned bachelor’s and master’s
degrees in journalism from Ohio University, and taught news writing
and editing courses there as part of her graduate program. She’s a member
