Save the date: The National Association of Science Writers (NASW) and the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing (CASW) will be hosting the core week of the ScienceWriters
NASW members who participated in a #SciWriCoffee Zoom session shared their favorite tips and resources for addressing misinformation surrounding COVID19 and other science issues.
Later this year, NASW members will vote on the 15 NASW board members, who will serve from October 2020- October 2022. Read on to meet the candidates. All regular NASW members will receive a personalized email with instructions and a link to the online voting proxy in late summer.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing and NASW have decided that it is unwise to continue with a plan for a large, in-person October gathering, given the unknown and potentially high level of risk for individuals. We will postpone our gathering in Colorado, originally scheduled for October 2020, until the fall of 2021.
The NASW Education Committee is sponsoring a Virtual Mentoring Program for students who are unable to participate in a summer internship or other opportunities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we need your help to assist the many students who find internships cancelled or unavailable.
