#SciWriMentoring
Many successful science writers can point to others who influenced them profoundly or changed the trajectory of their careers. Often this was through a brief encounter or a kind gesture that, to the giver, seemed a small thing. Our #SciWriMentoring activity is geared at engineering some of these moments during ScienceWriters2018, with a social media twist. Mentors and mentees will be encouraged to tweet a tidbit from their time together with #SciWriMentoring.
First offered at ScienceWriters2016 in San Antonio, this session was such a hit with students and NASW member volunteers that we had more people than the allotted space could accommodate. This year's session will again pair undergraduates, graduate students and science writers new to the field with science writers farther along in their careers.
So whether you've been at this for a while, are early in your career or are still a student, take your lunch break and then come join us for a session aimed at creating connections that could last a lifetime.
Mentors: To volunteer as a mentor, sign up here.
Mentees: Undergraduates, graduate students and early career science writers are welcome to sign up here to be paired with a mentor.
