What You'll Learn

Expect the workshop to stimulate your mind, sharpen your skills, spark your creativity and expand your professional community. The comprehensive, structured and lively lectures and discussions—15 to 20 sessions in all—are led by:

  • Scientists in fields ranging from physics to genetics.
  • Science reporters and editors from a variety of media.
  • Experts in law, ethics, statistics and research.
  • Exceptionally creative radio producers.

You’ll develop additional insight from constructive critiques of your work, field trips to research labs, support materials on the project’s website, and two follow-up teleconferences.

By the end of the six days, you’ll have sharpened your capacity to probe into emerging scientific issues, to transform your findings into compelling radio, and to enjoy greater confidence in your science reporting abilities.
