A poster for the World Conference of Science Journalists in Tshwane, South Africa that features the images of five science journalists who will offer a panel discussion called: Critique of Science, Hoe to teach that skill. It includes the text: Journalism training often does not acknowledge the skills needed for sound reporting on the climate, health, technology and. other sciences, and why it is important to society. Science journalists from four continents will share tolls, experiences and resources on how they train other reporters to tackle science better.

On Dec. 3, @siricarpenter.bsky.social will join @kossibalao.bsky.social, @mmeagnes.bsky.social, Magali Reinert and Lesley Cowling for a panel at #WCSJ2025 focused on equipping reporters with the skills to report about science. www.wcsj2025.org/programme/se...
