Science Policy and Creative Nonfiction

Here's something to check out if you're an emerging communicator (writer/journalist/filmmaker/etc.) interested in a global issue--science policy:
It's a project called To Think, To Write, To Publish.
A yearlong program, supported by the National Science Foundation, featuring two multi-day workshops in Washington, DC and Tempe, Arizona. Twelve emerging communicators and 12 early-career science and innovation policy scholars will learn about creative/narrative nonfiction storytelling techniques; meet with and learn from creative writing and science journalism professors, museum professionals, and editors of mainstream publications; and collaborate, in scholar-communicator pairs, on narrative essays to appear in a nationally distributed publication.
