Coffee Chat

Join us on 25 January 2024 for an online coffee chat discussing science writing and journalism. Dr. Nathan Ni, Associate Science Editor and leader of the scientific services initiative of the magazine “The Scientist,” will be joining the coffee chat to speak with us. Dr. Ni will give a short talk on communication training, the art of writing, and why they are important for scientists. You will then have the chance to ask Dr. Ni anything about science writing or journalism.

Coffee Chat: Ask Me Anything About Science Writing and Journalism
When: 25 January 2024, 13:00 - 14:00 EST
Speaker: Nathan Ni, The Scientist
