Dan Morse

Washington Post staff writer Dan Morse set off to be an engineer. But the tough classes at Vanderbilt, specifically Differential Equations, convinced him to try something else.

After graduation, Morse combined his engineering degree with his interest in writing and, as if it had been planned all along, took a position at Civil Engineering magazine in New York. Who can forget his prescient 1989 piece on upcoming waste-water treatment disposal regulations: “Sludge in the Nineties.”
