I'm Catherine Meyers, a graduate student in the science communication program at UC Santa Cruz. On Saturday I will be blogging from the session "A global science writing community: Gearing up for the World Conference of Science Journalists 2011." I am excited to learn about the world of science writing outside of the United States.
ScienceWriters meeting coverage
Hi! I’m Susan Young, NASW graduate travel fellow and UC Santa Cruz Science Communication student. I'm looking forward to a fun and informative weekend at my first ScienceWriters meeting.
And other journalists out there in Twitter-ville already are jealous of us.
Hi everyone, I'm Stephen Ornes. I'm an NASW Travel Fellow this year, and I'll be blogging on the Saturday afternoon session titled "Great science writing II: Building the big book." I always get a kick out of Jennifer Ouellette's blog, "Cocktail Party Physics," and I'm looking forward to hearing her talk about moving from blogger to book author.
Hi all, I'm Allison MacLachlan, an NASW Graduate Travel Fellow this year. I am currently a Master's student in MIT's Graduate Program in Science Writing, and am very much looking forward to attending my first NASW meeting this coming weekend.
Hello there, I'm Emily Voigt, another of this year's freelance travel fellows, coming to New Haven from New York City. This will be my first time attending the ScienceWriters conference (thank you NASW!) and I'll be covering the workshop "Great science writing part II: Building the big book" on Saturday afternoon.
I came across a glossy advert the other day for the Wall Street Journal wine buying club. That might have had something to do with my choice to cover New Funding Models for Journalism (and, okay, it was one of the few unclaimed sessions). Is this how the WSJ is meeting payroll these days, by peddling red wine?
I'm Cori Vanchieri, a freelance editor and writer who's fascinated by science and medicine. As a freelancer, it's easy to lose track of the myriad efforts to reach readers through new media. Who's got time to keep track of what's working and what's not?
Hi I'm Karen A. Frenkel and I'm looking forward to meeting you and celebrating our organization, which is important now more than ever. I'm a Travel Fellow and will be blogging about the Civics in Science Journalism session and doing some live tweeting.
Hello! I’m John Cannon, and I’m attending my first ScienceWriters conference on a NASW freelance fellowship. On Friday I’ll make the trek east from my home in California by car, plane, bus and train (I couldn't work in a boat ride) to New Haven.
