Sue Luttner
Technical Writer and Journalist Palo Alto, CA Sue Luttner was drawn into the child-abuse arena 15 years ago, when the adult niece of a friend was convicted of shaking a neighbor’s baby into permanent brain damage. Sue made her first trip to the medical library in 1998, just as the explosive debate surrounding shaken baby syndrome was heating up. She has since followed the story to conferences and courthouses, hospitals and prisons, and the homes of people whose lives have been torn apart one way or another by a diagnosis of shaking. You can read about her conclusions on her web site and blog at http://onsbs.com/. A former software technical writer and editor, Sue now edits medical and bioengineering journal articles and is wrapping up a book about her research on shaken baby syndrome. |
