Linda Anderman has been a writer for more than 30 years including 21 years at Los Alamos National Laboratory where she’s written on multiple science topics. For the past two years she’s been in pre-production on a documentary on the history of the metric system in the United States called "More Than a Mile Behind: America and the Metric System." Aspects she researched so far have included the metric system in Common Core Standards, its potential influence on student learning and assessments, the importance of measurement standards and metric education in the classroom. Organizations involved in the project include the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (it hosts National Metric Week each year), National Institute of Standards and Technology, Smithsonian Institution, P&G and the Center for Science in the Public Interest. A previous video she wrote and directed, Cogeneration at Detroit Diesel Allison (General Motors), received a national award. She has also taught courses at the University of New Mexico.
