Hello, fellow science writers! I'm Virginia (Ginny) Hughes, an NASW Travel Fellow, freelance writer, Brooklynite, foodie and brain geek. I'm interested in neuroscience, genetics, biotech and the growing number of ways in which they overlap.
I’m Anne Frances Johnson, a grad student in science journalism, and seriously pumped for a fun conference. Let me start by saying THANK YOU NASW for supporting graduate travel fellowships! It is enormously gracious of you and a huge help for us.
I’m Marie Zhuikov, NASW travel fellow and a freelance writer/editor who specializes in environmental and health topics. When not freelancing, I work as a project administrator for the St. Louis River Alliance, a nonprofit group working to protect, restore and enhance the St. Louis River in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
I'm going to leave my laptop computer at home for the conference—my first work-related trip since the mid-1990s without one. But I'm bringing my (work-assigned) iPad, and stuffing my ongoing work into the cloud of Google Docs and Dropbox in an attempt to keep up. I' m surprised at how nervous this strategy is making me.
