I'm back from @sciencewriters.org #SciWri24 meeting in Raleigh. Lots of inspiration to go around, including the conversation I had at the #sciwrimentoring session with Alex Music and Ashleigh Jones. Thanks to Czerne Reid for sparking these connections.

TOMORROW is the last day to register for the D.C. Science Writers Association Professional Development Day. There will be no on-site registration. Check out the program, sign up, and I'll see you at the sign-in table! #scicomm #sciencejournalism #conference #DC dcswa.wildapricot.org/event-5643066
