Rest deprived? Why rest, not just sleep, matters

In this webinar co-hosted by the National Association of Science Writers and the Association of Health Care Journalists, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, an internal medicine physician, will talk about the seven types of rest and how health and science communicators can recharge in ways that support their craft without sacrificing other aspects of their lives.

Pitching a story—and yourself as a writer

Pitching is critical to a successful freelance business, but it can also be the first step to growing a broader network in the science journalism community. Nature Careers editor Kendall Powell will join freelance science journalist Virginia Gewin for a chat about pitching stories—and how to use pitches to build a fruitful journalist-editor relationship.

Community Wellness Check-in

In response to the many mental health and career challenges that science communicators are currently facing, NASW is hosting a series of unstructured, very informal socials where you can share in a safe space. Drop in and visit for as long as you can, when you can during the hour. All NASW members are invited. These socials will not be recorded.
