SUMMARY:Science Writing I: Online Class at UCLA Extension
DESCRIPTION:“Science writing tells true stories about scientists and research to a variety of audiences. Learn what it takes to translate scientific concepts and discoveries into prose that readers can understand — and enjoy! This course emphasizes science newswriting as a foundational\, gateway skill to other types of science writing. You’ll practice writing science explainers and news articles according to standard structures and come to understand the job of “science writer” through in-class exercises and discussions\, guest speakers\, reading\, and homework. You’ll learn about different career options: freelance or staff\, journalism or institutional communications\, full time or on the side. By the end of the course\, you’ll have 1–3 story ideas\, 3 polished writing samples\, a pitch you can send to a publication\, and a plan for your own next steps in science writing. Note: Technical writing\, scientific manuscript writing\, and science fiction are not part of this course.” \n\nInstructor: Amber Dance\nWhere: Live online\nWhen: Tuesdays\, 6-9 p.m. PT\nFee: $820

SUMMARY:Developing Effective Science Communication: Beginning | Six-Week Course
DESCRIPTION:“Science editors work with science writers to communicate specialist information to non-specialist audiences. They educate the public about the importance of scientific results\, convince funding agencies to support proposed projects\, and enlighten museum visitors about the meaning of new exhibits. \n“To succeed in the field of science communication\, science editors must ensure that writers do more than just lay out the facts. Science communication must also attract the reader’s attention\, hold that attention while conveying important information\, and deliver on promises to come to a satisfying conclusion. \n“In this six-week course\, we’ll look to the worlds of journalistic editing\, fiction editing\, and academic editing for essential tools to ensure that a piece of science writing works from beginning to end. Through weekly assignments\, you’ll put that advice into practice\, with plenty of instructor feedback and peer discussion to guide you.” \nThis course is taught by Kathryn Jepsen. There are a few coupons available: \n\nCoupon code KJ-BiZT9h026Y saves you $10\nCoupon code WELCOME10 gets you 10% off your first purchase\nIf you sign up for three or more EFA courses\, you can get 10% off with another coupon code\, DIYBUNDLE\n\nInterested in editing nonfiction books? EFA put together a bundle with two of Jepsen’s classes\, a few webinars related to book editing and a self-paced course on conscious language.

SUMMARY:Public Health Journalism: Data and Sourcing in Public Health Reporting
DESCRIPTION:“As federal data becomes harder to access — whether through resource constraints\, shifting priorities\, or outright disappearance — the challenge for journalists isn’t just analysis\, it’s access. \n“Join the National Press Club Journalism Institute for a free training webinar designed for reporters navigating a rapidly changing data landscape\, where the reliability\, availability\, and transparency of public health information can no longer be taken for granted. \n“Featuring public health experts\, this session will surface trusted pathways to data at the local\, regional\, and state levels while offering practical guidance on how to validate and use it responsibly. \n“We’ll explore how to identify credible data sources beyond federal agencies\, verify what you find\, and responsibly incorporate emerging tools — including AI-assisted analysis — without compromising rigor. The focus is practical: how to keep your reporting grounded in evidence\, even when the evidence is harder to find.”

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: The Invisible Life Grant
DESCRIPTION:“This programme supports cross-border teams of professional journalists and/or news outlets investigating issues related to farm animal welfare and European interests\, both within and beyond Europe. \n“This is not simply an animal welfare story.

Yet it attracts relatively little journalistic attention\, and even less philanthropic or research funding. \n“Two application rounds are scheduled for this grant programme in 2026.” \nDeadlines: \n\nAugust 27\, 2026\nOctober 29\, 2026\n\n“The total available amount per call to be distributed among all supported investigations is €150\,000. \n“The grant can cover working time and expenses such as logistics\, travel\, insurance\, access to legal support\, translations\, access to technology and data sets\, etc. \n“Next to financial support\, teams can also apply for an experienced mentor to provide assistance with either the focus of the investigation or the need for competences in a specific skill.” \n\nAnnouncement\nInfo webinar: June 30\, 2026 @ 2-3 p.m. CET // 8-9 a.m. EDT.

SUMMARY:CIJ Webinar Series: Investigating the Climate Crisis With Results
DESCRIPTION:“This 3-series webinar brings to the fore specific areas needed for journalists and researchers to move from typical reporting of environmental and climate events to investigations that drive impact. \n“Over the last four years\, we’ve learned a lot about how journalism can get results in pushing for climate progress and addressing injustice. Through the Open Climate Reporting Initiative (OCRI) we’ve empowered hundreds of frontline reporters in 58 countries with cutting edge skills for investigative research and compelling stories. \n“Join us to hear more from carefully selected expert speakers who will share their knowledge in biodiversity and ocean reporting\, essential preparation for covering COP\, and methods to connect security\, conflict & climate solutions. This webinar series builds on our January webinar From Skills to Shifts: How Climate Investigations Get Results and you’ll gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to interrogate certain thematic areas towards enabling accountability and action while staying ahead in the discourse.” \n\nSept. 10\, 2026: Focus on Biodiversity & Ocean reporting\nOct. 1\, 2026: Preparing for COP31\nNov. 5\, 2026: Connecting Security\, Conflict & Climate Solutions
