ScienceWriters2026 - Corvallis, OR

Thank you!

Thank you to the nearly 500 in person attendees, 273 virtual attendees, our hosts at Oregon State University, and all the volunteers and staff who worked to offer top-notch sessions, dedicated mentoring, diverse field trips, plentiful meals, and online programming to nourish the science writing community in Corvallis and online this fall.

The NASW Programs and the CASW New Horizons committees, as well as the joint CASW-NASW ScienceWriters Steering Committee, are made up of volunteers with an unwavering commitment to building and fostering this welcoming professional community, with its diversity of members, viewpoints, and roles in the science journalism ecosystem. Together we are grateful to the funders, sponsors, and individual donors for their generous support of the in-person portion of this professional convening.

ScienceWriters attendees are invited to watch virtual session recordings, connect with attendees, and engage with the community in the Whova app or the Whova web portal for three months post-conference, until ~ January 15, 2027. (Access limited to registered attendees.)

The next host of ScienceWriters will be the University of Arizona, and we will gather in Tucson in Fall 2027. Dates will be announced in early 2027. We can’t wait to see you there.

ScienceWriters is the largest U.S. convening for journalists, authors, editors, producers, institutional communicators, students, and people who write and produce material intended to inform the public about science, health, engineering, and technology.
