More than 300 science writers from around the world gathered in Spokane, Washington, on October 19 to kick off the annual NASW Science in Society meeting. Early highlights included a trip to the world's only adult grizzly bear research facility, located at Washington State University in Pullman, and the "Science Cabaret," which featured performances of music, theater, and comedy skits about science.
