Speaker Info:
Juliet Eilperin is a born-and-bred Washingtonian who has been at The Washington Post since 1998. She began as a reporter covering the House of Representative, including the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Since April, 2004, she has covered the environment for the Post national desk, reporting on science, policy and politics, from climate change to oceans and air quality. In pursuit of these stories, she has gone scuba diving with sharks in the Bahamas and trekking in the Arctic tundra. She covered the the 2008 presidential race, traveling with GOP nominee John McCain and his running mate Sarah Palin, while continuing to serve as the national environment reporter. She recently launched the blog Post Carbon on the paper's website to help readers track developments in climate policy, politics and science in real time. In 2006 she published her first book, "Fight Club Politics: How Partisanship is Poisoning the House of Representatives." Her book has been featured on several radio and television shows, including Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and NPR's "Fresh Air with Terry Gross." Ms. Eilperin is currently working on a book on sharks, to be published by Knopf-Pantheon in 2011.
