Congratulations to Sayantan Datta, Andrew Meissen, and Duy Linh Tu, on being selected as recipients of NASW’s 2021 Diversity Reporting Grants.
Earlier this year, NASW members Delger Erdenesanaa, Alex Ip, and Claudia López Lloreda, were awarded Diversity Summer Fellowships to help offset the costs associated with pursuing science communication internships over the summer. Read about their experiences and the work they produced.
As one of the final sessions of ScienceWriters2021 (#SciWri21), the "Making the Invisible Visible: Challenges to explaining deep tech" session addressed how journalists and science writers can explain “invisible” science findings.
In the #SciWri21 session “Probing patient stories–and unsettled science–without breaking trust,” three journalists weighed in on how they approach the ambiguity of lived patient experiences, their relationships with sources, and the delicate process of stitching these elements together in a story.
Linda Villarosa's Pulitzer-Prize winning New York Times Magazine article was the highlight of the ScienceWriters2021 session "Science Journalism Meets Social Justice."
In the ScienceWriters2021 session “Innovative Uses of Film in Science Communication” panelists discussed how they navigate the rapidly changing landscape of science filmmaking.
In the ScienceWriters2021 conference plenary session on “Covering Science Responsibly Across Borders”, editors and writers from around the world discussed how to ethically report on science.
The step from writing science articles to a science book Is more like a giant leap. “Writing a book can be sort of mystical especially if you don’t know anyone who has written a book” said science writer Rebecca Boyle during the “So you want to write a book” session of ScienceWriters 2021.
