Science Journalism Society UoA

Hey! Really excited to announce our Halloween collaboration event with Any questions, dm us :)

Delighted to announce our newest committee member 🥰

Hey everyone, if you’re interested in writing a scientific article for us or have already started one yourself (ooh tryhard), please come along to our coffee morning this Wednesday. We will talk through what’s expected of the articles (there’s a lot of room for creativity) and you can ask us any questions :) If you want to see what we’re about but aren’t ready yet to start writing, that’s okay - come along for a chat! And if you want to study together, you’re very welcome to bring along lecture notes or work away on an assignment. The fourth year committee member writing this will probably be doing the same 💅

Hope everyone’s had a good weekend! Excited to announce our first few events. We will also be having our first writing workshop later in October 🩷

We’re still looking for new committee members for next year🥳 including for the essential roles of President, secretary and treasurer! You can find more information on these roles form our AGM sign up form in our bio✨

For this year’s Career Seminar
we have invited academic staff to talk about science communication!

As speakers we will have researchers from the Rowett Institute and the Institute of Medical Sciences. Many scientists do public engagement work or have other projects related to science communication alongside their research. We wanted to provide an opportunity to share this incredibly important work and inspire students to get involved!
