The NASW Freelance Committee virtual meetup on October 1 will be a networking social with small-group discussions in breakout rooms. We will discuss the in-person ScienceWriters2026 conference: What did you like? What was your favorite session? Does anyone want to chime in with a brief session recap for those who missed it? We’ll also talk about which upcoming virtual ScienceWriters2026 sessions we’re excited about.

All NASW members are invited to participate, whether or not you attended the in-person ScienceWriters2026.

A shared set of expectations is essential to creating a welcoming and supportive shared space: A reminder that per NASW's Code of Conduct, attendees must use their full name in their Zoom display in order to be admitted. Please review the code for additional expected behaviors. Attendees will be asked to turn on their cameras at the beginning of the discussion to foster engagement and community. You may turn your camera off after introducing yourself to the breakout group, switching to use audio only (but not chat only). If you do not want to appear on camera, please remain in the main session room.
