Man moving incredibly fast having a laugh in front of a PowerPoint that says Adelaide Australia's bid for the world conference of science journalists
I'm extremely proud to present Australia's bid for the World Conference of Science Journalists for 2029 here in Pretoria, and for my home town of ADL, no less. The team behind this bid have been unreal. If you're at #WCSJ, presentations begin at 11am in the Emerald Room. 🧪
On my way to the World Conference of Science Journalists 2025 in Pretoria! I’m thrilled that my proposed session has been accepted - and even more excited to be joined by such an amazing all-female panel on AI!
Who else is at the conference? Lets have a drink and chat!

Fistbump RT @JenLucPiquant: Me too. See ya at the pyramids! RT @alexwitze saving pennies for #WCSJ in Cairo in June.
Hear hear RT @David_Dobbs: #ff @deborahblum and @NadiaE for pulling hard and long and uphill to make #WCSJ happen in Cairo.
RT @ayasawada: Just posted a list of blogs, tweets and other resources covering the #wcsj on the @absw blog http://bit.ly/swkn7
Does science journalism falter or flourish under embargo? http://tinyurl.com/mzf4t6 Coverage/analysis of #wcsj debate. Come & have your say.
Appalled/amused/proud to see that I wrote about 13% of the #wcsj tweets. But riddle me this: why are my feet aching? Anatomy FAIL.
Air-conditioned office compensating admirably for lack of fascinating discussions about science journalism #wcsj
Ahem. Working link to full #wcsj transcript: http://is.gd/1lTJR (Time stamp is 6 hrs behind) HT @JoBrodie
Final #wcsj tweet: a full transcript http://tinyurl.com/m6n3rt Awesome event, illuminating debates, good company. Also hot. Very hot.
On science journalism & value of embargoes - great feeds by @ivanoransky @edyoung209 @dgmacarthur #wcsj. Via @bmahersciwriter
#wcsj Fiona Fox - mass embargoing of human/animal hybrid story until after 22nd Dec dead-period to 7th Jan led to front-page news.
#wcsj GWatt: embargoes prevent reactionary reporting and allows for the power of *editing* and careful crafting.
#wcsj Gwatts: rolling news = speculation + correcting misapprehension from previous speculation. Rubbish for science.
#wcsj Horton - best place for science stories is conferences.
RT @dgmacarthur: #wcsj @markgfh Too many embargoed stories; it should be restricted to major stories with real public implications.
#wcsj @markfgh says bigger problem is Inglefinger rule where scientists scared of talking about research before public'n for fear of journal
#wcsj Embargo is v.simple, can be benign; if info is sourced through another route, should be at liberty to do that. Most POfficers get it
#wcsj Floor: Distinction between print/broadcast: stories w/o embargo might still be picked up by print/online, but broadcast will ignore
#wcsj Richard: Lancet can't act on its own; needs mass effect. John: Really? You're *the Lancet*! Snigger.
#wcsj Floor: Problem = most journal papers aren’t any good. But no problem if story is decent.
#wcsj From floor: Problem of regurgitation isn’t fault of embargo. Embargoes actually give you the time to *not* regurgitate.
RT @TimesScience: Geoff Watts: embargo issue doesn't matter. Issue is what's news and how it's reported. Embargo minor technicality. #wcsj
#wcsj Q from Fiona Fox: haven’t made case that loss of investigative reporting is due to embargoes...
#wcsj Of course some cut and paste press releases, but that's a *human* error not one with the *system*.
