 | After studying molecular biology at MIT and getting a master’s in mathematics from the University of Maryland, Gina Kolata became a senior writer for Science magazine and eventually worked her way to her current position at The New York Times. Since then, she has won numerous writing awards, was a 2000 Pulitzer Prize finalist for investigative reporting, and has developed such a following that a band in Brooklyn took her name. ("We liked the sound of it, its rhythm. We wouldn’t name ourselves after just any science writer,” Markus Koelbl, a marine biologist/the drummer for "Gina Kolata," said in an interview with New York magazine.) Kolata is the author of Flu: The Story of the Great Influenza Pandemic and Ultimate Fitness: The Quest for the Truth About Exercise and Health. Luckily for Salt, she took time to talk with Catherine for our Writer in a Jar interview series.
