Join Us at the AAAS Meeting!
On February 18-20, seven students from the Texas A&M science and technology journalism program will attend the 2011 meeting of the American Association of the Advancement of Science, in Washington, DC.
During the meeting, the students will cover science communication sessions for Science Editor, the magazine of the Council of Science Editors. They will also attend science sessions, visit the internship fair organized by the National Association of Science Writers, and mingle with professionals in their field.
The program coordinator, Barbara Gastel, will be giving the workshop “Writing Scientific Papers in English: Tips and Resources,” on Friday. On Saturday she will also moderate the session “Publication without Borders: Spanning Countries, Disciplines, Audiences, and Roles.” Both sessions start at 8 a.m.
The meeting is a yearly event organized by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The AAAS is the world’s largest general science association, with more than 125 thousand members. It publishes the journal Science.
If you wish to meet members of our program during AAAS, please write to bgastel@cvm.tamu.edu. We would be pleased to talk with anyone interested in our program.
