A virtual joint event presented by the Science Writers and Communicators of Canada (SWCC) and the National Association of Science Writers (NASW)

Science writers and editors are facing a rapidly shifting professional landscape, shaped by political pressures, evolving industry norms, and the growing influence of artificial intelligence. In this one-hour webinar, panelists representing freelance writing, academia, and journalism will discuss how science communicators can approach their work ethically in a time of change. Topics will include maintaining clear boundaries and editorial independence; using case studies and ethical frameworks to think through questions of accuracy, transparency, and professional responsibility; and developing individualized conflict-of-interest statements. The goal is to help science writing professionals make thoughtful, responsible choices in their day-to-day work.

Registration is free and open to all SWCC and NASW members; a $15 fee is required for non-members. A recording will be available to members.
