Get involved with ScienceWriters 2010
NASW workshops will be held in New Haven, CT, on Nov. 5-6 and part of ScienceWriters 2010. We will be celebrating NASW's 75th anniversary, and CASW's 50th, with serious talk about the craft and future of science writing, and serious fun. The workshops program is created by NASW members. By participating in the planning process, you can make sure that the sessions meet your needs, whether that's for hands-on training, pitching nationally known editors, honing your writing chops, or world-class schmoozing. You can get involved by volunteering for the workshop committee, or by submitting a session proposal. Details
January 22, 2010 7:22 PMTime to vote on the bylaws. Again.
For those of you who do not subscribe to NASW-Talk, there has been much discussion of the proposed bylaw revisions. That discussion led members to carry out a successful petition drive to change the available choices about bylaw revisions to be considered at the February 20 special meeting in San Diego. If you have already submitted your proxy online, you will need to VOTE AGAIN as we have cleared the system.
