Since 2008, the Council for the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings has provided National Association of Science Writers' members who are working journalists or freelancers the opportunity to apply for the travel grants to its annual Meeting of Nobel Laureates in Lindau, Germany.
This year NASW leadership selected two NASW members to receive this travel funding. The funding covers airfare to Germany, accommodation, and the conference fee.
Congratulations to the 2015 recipients:
- Katherine Bourzac, contributing editor, Technology Review; contributor, Chemical & Engineering News; freelance science and tech writer
- Sandeep Ravindran, freelance science writer for NationalGeographic.com, Wired.com, Nature, Popular Science, and others
The 65th Meeting of Nobel Laureates, which this year is an interdisciplinary meeting dedicated to the Nobel Prize disciplines of physiology & medicine, physics, and chemistry, takes place June 28-July 3, 2015, in Lindau, Germany. These meetings bring together Nobel Laureate scientists with hundreds of young researchers for numerous lectures, panels, discussion sessions, and master classes, as well as a diversified program of fringe events. Sixty Nobel Laureates have already announced their participation, to be joined by 600 young researchers from approximately 80 countries. To learn more about the meetings, visit the Lindau Meetings website, which includes a list and profiles of the attending Nobel Laureates.
Thank you to the Council for its continued support of this fellowship program.
