Conferences noted

20th June 2009
Logo of the 6th World Conference of Science Journalists
In an editorial for Science Vol 324, 19th June 2009, Cristine Russell of the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing states that 'a sense of crisis has gripped the American science writing community, as traditional staff jobs in mainstream print and electronic media have increasingly fallen victim to hard economic times'. She then points to 'growing excitement' about emerging opportunities for global expansion of science journalism, particularly in developing countries.
'In the face of this changing media landscape, journalism and science organizations need to explore better ways to train reporters, scientists, and other communicators around the world in the substance and process of science writing.'
To this we can add here that the Research Cooperative is an attempt to help reporters, scientists, and other communicators to communicate with each other, and all those who wish to become scientists or science writers.
In her conclusion, Cristine Russell mentions the upcoming 6th World Conference of Science Journalists, which is 'expected to draw about 600 attendees from 70 countries to London'. She hopes that the sense of crisis will be tempered by optimism, at this conference.
The conference venue and dates are: Central Hall, Westminster, London, UK, 30 June 2 July, 2009
The aims of the conference are to 'bring established and aspiring reporters, writers and science communicators from around the world to debate, network, develop their professional skills and report on the latest advances in science and technology'.
