He has held positions at the Readers Catalog, Society for the Right to Die, The Rockefeller University, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, where he has created seminal programs in science and the arts.
Weber's memoir, Immortal Bird, the portrait of a teenager's short, vibrant life and the relationship between father and son, documents the family's navigation of the complex medical journey of Doron and Shealagh Weber's first child, Damon, who was born in 1988 with a congenital heart defect.
The defect, a single ventricle, was successfully repaired, allowing him to lead a remarkably full life until he developed new complications as a teen.
When he was 16, Damon received a successful heart transplant but then died of a post-transplant infection that was misdiagnosed as organ rejection and left untreated.
Since 1995, Weber has worked as a program director at the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, a nonprofit philanthropic organization that supports research and education in science, technology, and economic performance.
As Vice President, Programs, Weber runs the Public Understanding of Science and Technology Program where he pioneered the synergistic use of media and the arts to translate science for the public.
He has launched national programs in theater, film and television that commission, develop, produce, and distribute new work bridging the two cultures of science and the humanities.
Grantees include Manhattan Theatre Club, Sundance Film Institute, National Geographic Television, PBS, National Public Radio, BAM, and World Science Festival.
Weber also directs the Foundation's efforts to promote Universal Access to Knowledge by using emerging developments in digital information technology to make the benefits of human knowledge and human culture accessible to people everywhere.
Grantees include Library of Congress, Internet Archive, Wikimedia Foundation, Harvard University and Digital Public Library of America.
From 1995 to 2005, he served as secretary of the New York State Committee for the Rhodes Scholarships.
He also is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Century Club.
The family brought suit in 2006 against New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center where their son was a patient but, as of 2013, the suit remains unresolved.
On behalf of the Foundation, he accepted the PBS Leadership Award for over a decade of support; the Nielsen Impact Award for Film from the Hollywood Reporter (2009); the Council of Foundation citation for “the visionary funding decisions of foundations in using media for their program goals” for a new web series, The Secret Life of Scientists (2010); and the Gold Communicator Award for a documentary about the Foundation's history, “Sloan at 75” (2011).
His work at Sloan has been profiled in The New York Times, The Boston Globe, Fortune, Filmmaker Magazine, and The American Way.
In addition to being named by The Washington Post as one of “50 Notable Works of Non-Fiction” for 2012, Immortal Bird was listed as Amazon's Best Book of the Month, in February 2012 Indie NEXT List, and was one of nine official selections of the 2013 Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle, the oldest book club in America.
