We are delighted to confirm that Siri Carpenter, Co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief of The Open Notebook and President of the National Association of Science Writers, will give a keynote address entitled The Craft of Science Writing at this year's UK Conference of Science Journalists.
She will reflect on what she has learnt while curating one of the world’s primary resources for science journalists and aspiring science writers for the last decade.
In February 2020 The Open Notebook published The Craft of Science Writing, a collection of articles that distill essential lessons for science writers, from how to find and report science stories, to how to think critically about science, to how to address issues of diversity and equity in science journalism. Siri will draw out the key lessons and stories she has absorbed from bringing together all this knowledge, and how it applies to science journalism in 2020.
