Science Journalism Workshop
"The Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J., will host a new Science Journalism Workshop from July 10–15, 2023. During the week-long program, two or three instructional sessions will be held each day, led by the program directors and a roster of guest instructors, including Christie Aschwanden, Graham Farmelo, Sabrina Imbler, John Rennie, Ashley Smart, Gideon Lewis-Kraus, and George Musser.
"The instructional sessions will cover a range of subjects, including structuring stories, pitching, interviewing, the logistics of freelancing, scientific biography/profile writing, developing a beat, and covering controversial topics. In the afternoons, time will be dedicated to workshopping participants’ writing in group sessions. Throughout the week, attendees and instructors will convene for meals and other social activities. Participants will also have the chance to meet and network with world-leading IAS scientists.
"The workshop is for prospective and early-career science journalists. Funding to defray costs will be provided to accepted participants. Applications are being accepted on a rolling basis until April 10, 2023."
