Re-Writing Science

A free conference on science writing, aimed at students and professional writers, will be held in the Institute for the Humanities in Stevenson Hall.

Sessions include how to correctly use statistics, with Robert Sloan, head of computer science, and Bill Burton, senior director of public affairs; an introduction to science writing as a career, with local writers and authors; and innovations in science communications with writers and producers from WBEZ’s “Curious City,” the “Nerdette Podcast,” the Illinois Science Council and Argonne National Laboratory.
