Vikki Valentine is editor-in-chief of NPR's scientific office. She oversees the network's overall health and development coverage on broadcast and digital platforms. Previously, Valentine was the editor of the network on climate change, energy and the environment. In this capacity, she received the 2012 DuPont Award for her coverage of natural gas drilling in Pennsylvania.

This cover has also been recognized by the Edward R. Murrow Award, the Best Picture Award of the Year International and the Online News Association.
She has been the editor of the "#HowToRaiseAHuman" and "# 15Girls" series, winner of the Gracie Award.

The 2015 "# 15Girls" series explored the ubiquitous and deadly discrimination that girls face in developing countries.
Valentine won the 2009 National Academic Awards for the one year multimedia project entitled "Climate Connections". The series was also honored with the 2008 National Academy of Sciences Award, the Metcalf Award for Environmental Journalism, the White House News Photographers Association Awards and Webbys.
