What a great night at the Seattle Aquarium! Thanks to all who helped us ring in 2026! 🐙 🦦 🐠

NSWA showed up at @sciencewriting1.bsky.social conference in Chicago last weekend!

The big news—the 2026 NASW conference will be in the PNW. Join us in Corvallis at @oregonstateuniv.bsky.social in October.

In September, @nswa.bsky.social members journeyed to the Olympic Peninsula to see the Elwha River restoration.

Vanessa Castle, a Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe member, shared how the removal of the river's two dams has brought both ecological renewal & spiritual healing. John Gussman led us on a hike.

Last call! Our party is THIS THURSDAY (Jan 16)

Featuring...
Free food and booze! A cool new wing of the Seattle Aquarium with scientists on hand to answer your questions! A scavenger hunt! A flambe donut station! Other nerds! Networking!

Don't miss it!
