Meet the Editor: Jeff DelViscio, Chief Multimedia Editor Jeff's path to science journalism began with awe—standing on research ships, pulling ancient climate secrets from the ocean floor. That early hands-on science sparked a lifelong mission: to make complex discoveries meaningful and accessible. "I chose the macro over the micro," he says, driven by a desire to connect data with the human story.    Over the past 25 years, Jeff has become a master of multimedia storytelling, blending clarity, creativity, and curiosity. In 2024, he joined a scientific expedition on the Greenland ice sheet, where he endured –20°F temperatures and unrelenting winds. "After the first night, I was like, 'I think I've made a huge mistake. This is the most uncomfortable I think I've ever been in my life'," he recalls in a recent interview.   Whether reporting from ice sheets or decoding microscopic worlds, he brings science to life with passion and purpose. "I think curiosity is something I share with the readers," he reflects. "It's just my job to help feed that curiosity."    Subscribe to Scientific American​ for full access to all the science articles, videos and podcasts.   View Jeff's Work
