Fewer than 3% of journalists are trained to cover science, health or the environment. And access to that training is scarce and inequitable.

It's why @theopennotebook.bsky.social works so hard to create free resources anyone can use. Please donate if you can: www.theopennotebook.com/15thannivers...

The CFP session and stipend deadline is now March 10th, 5pm ET! Many of us are at NICAR, so let's focus on the conference and use the weekend to submit your ideas & travel stipend requests!
