Ongoing cuts and reinstatements to federal science funding, along with related lawsuits, have kept reporters hopping. At this Connector chat, top reporters Stephanie Lee of The Chronicle of Higher Education and Katherine Wu of The Atlantic will discuss how they’re managing the deluge: how they track ongoing changes, keep up with sources and select the stories they focus on. There are several online resources reporters can take advantage of, including the database Grant Witness. Co-founder Scott Delaney, of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, will also be on hand to discuss the genesis and continuation of that project. Bring your questions and your tips for resources for our live discussion.

This discussion will be recorded and posted on CASW’s YouTube channel. A crowdsourced tip sheet will also be shared with attendees after the webinar.
