National Association of Science Writers 2012

This week I’ll be traveling to the National Association of Science Writers’ annual conference in Research Triangle Park.

The National Association of Science Writers is a trade organization for science journalists, university public information officers, and scientists with an interest in communicating to the public.  The conference is going to run from October 26th to the 30th and will include workshops on writing craft and the latest developments in science.  Expect to see photos when I get back!
