Getting super excited to see fellow science writers at #SciWri25 this weekend! If you're an institutional science communicator, be sure to stop by our table at the Saturday Open House (12-1) and say hi. Can't wait!
Still processing all I took in at #SciWri25, but I know one thing: Science writers are crazy inspiring and determined people who will never stop seeking and sharing the facts. So grateful to learn from them, thanks to the huge efforts of @sciencewriters.org and @sciencewriting.bsky.social.
