Nathan Pieplow, a professor at the University of Colorado in Boulder and author of the Peterson Field Guide to Bird Sounds, has created the winning logo this year’s ScienceWriters2020 conference.
Congratulations to MK Manoylov, Ariana Remmel, and Evelyn Valdez-Ward on being selected for 2020 Diversity Summer Fellowships from the National Association of Science Writers. Each will receive $5,000 as well as a one-year membership to NASW.
In the era of COVID-19 I wanted to provide members with an update on the status of NASW’s finances. The bottom line is that the organization is currently in stable fiscal shape, despite the state of the national and global economy. We are moving forward very conservatively to ensure continued stable footing so that we have resources in place to support members during the ongoing crisis.
