Panelists at our recent Connector Chat shared lessons from their research and reporting, discussing abortion coverage as an example of the hot-button topics that science writers may cover.

Science journalists and communicators are increasingly called upon to cover topics that spark social and political turmoil. Our next Connector Chat will discuss how to approach this coverage, using abortion as a model for other topics.

AI can’t replace the important work of science journalism and communication, but AI tools can assist in our work. These tools can find research papers, summarize complex information, write code, and more. The Connector team compiled some favorite resources from the firehose of guides, tip sheets, and webinars on this topic.

Catch up on our Connector Chat on science journalism and communication in the misinformation era with the recording and tip sheet from the event. Find those misinformation resources, along with new articles at CASW Showcase, reminders of upcoming deadlines, and more in this issue of the Connector newsletter.
