Hundreds of science journalists and communicators from around the country will converge on the University of 欧美口爆视频 Boulder and University of 欧美口爆视频 Anschutz Medical campuses Oct. 6鈥�10 to expand their skills, connect with colleagues, and learn about cutting-edge research at the nation鈥檚 premier science communications gathering, ScienceWriters2023.

is now open, and the is taking shape. Student rates are available.

The annual conference is organized by the council for the Advancement of Science Writing (CASW) and The National Association of Science Writers (NASW), in coordination with a different prestigious research institution each year.

Journalists, institutional science communicators, students and others interested in a career in science writing gather for five days of panel discussions, lectures, interactive lab tours, field trips, craft and career workshops and networking receptions.

This year鈥檚 conference, co-sponsored by 欧美口爆视频 Boulder and 欧美口爆视频 Anschutz, is expected to attract more than 600 in-person attendees and as many as 500 virtual attendees.

While the conference will be headquarted at 欧美口爆视频 Boulder, attendees will have the option to spend a day at the Anschutz campus, where programming will include a workshop on reporting with electronic health records, a session on trauma and resilience among asylum seekers at the Mexico border, and other sessions curated for writers covering medicine and health.

鈥淲e look forward to meeting faculty and getting a close-up look at the extraordinary work underway at these two campuses,鈥� said Rosalind Reid, CASW executive director.

Field trip highlights this year include:

• A visit to 欧美口爆视频鈥檚 Mountain Research Station (9,500 feet), home of some of the longest-running and highest-elevation ecological research in the U.S.
• A hike through Boulder鈥檚 iconic Flatirons with a geologist
• A trip to the National Institutes of Standards and Technology, where scientists are developing virtual-reality tools to help firefighters navigate smoke-filled buildings
• An up-close glimpse at how Children鈥檚 Hospital 欧美口爆视频 is using gaming technology and service dogs to help kids cope with the medical environment
• Other tours covering wind energy, weather prediction, precision measurements, the future of aerospace听and the quirky properties of quantum physics

The event serves as the annual meeting for NASW, a 2,600-plus-member organization for people who write or produce content to inform the public about science, and CASW鈥檚 New Horizons in Science program, in which top-ranked researchers report on seminal advances.

Lectures and panels this year cover everything from Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) to abortion and contraception in the post-Dobbs era to the 欧美口爆视频 River crisis, the promise and perils of medicinal cannabis use and the health impacts of urban fires.

To shine a light on Indigenous community issues and in acknowledgement of Indigenous Peoples Day on Oct. 9, SciWri23 will include an NASW plenary on science reporting on issues affecting Indigenous communities, plus an NASW workshop and documentary viewing organized Native American Journalists Association. CASW and NASW have also joined with the Centers for American Indian and Alaska Native Health at 欧美口爆视频 Anschutz to organize a dialogue with local Indigenous leaders on covering Native health issues.

Other onsite events will include the popular Lunch with a Scientist event, in which 欧美口爆视频 scholars share their research with small groups of science writers over lunch, and the SciWriAwards ceremony, in which the stand-out science writing of the year will be acknowledged.

Ahead of the in-person sessions, SciWri23 will open with a slate of virtual sessions beginning Tuesday, Sept. 26. These online workshops will cover topics such as artificial intelligence and journalism; popularizing mathematics; improving newsroom internships; and equity and justice best practices for editors.
