Getting time with busy scientists at your institution can be challenging, so it’s important to capture the most from interviews when they happen. During this NASW session, Gary Werner – science writer and senior media relations officer at Arizona State University – shares advice from his experience interviewing more than one hundred engineering faculty members for internal news stories and external media releases as well as the skills he developed during his previous life as a newspaper and magazine journalist. Join us for some top tips on “leading the dance” of conversations with research scientists.

A reminder that, per NASW's Code of Conduct, attendees must use their name as their Zoom display name in order to be admitted. Please review the code for additional expected behaviors.
