Our international science journalists’ dinner
On Sunday 14 February for journalists at the 2016 AAAS, Washington DC
Forty of the world’s leading science journalists will join me for a good dinner, Australian shiraz, and a briefing on some of the best of Australian science on Sunday 14 February 2016 during the AAAS Annual Meeting in Washington DC.
Science in Public’s Australian Dinner has become a minor tradition during the AAAS. It enables Australia to build on the links with international science reporters which were created when Melbourne hosted the World Conference of Science Journalists back in 2007.
Our guests in 2015 included:
- The science editors of the Economist, BBC TV News, Financial Times, Asahi Shimbun, The Sun, and reporters from the BBC, Daily Mail, the London Times and others.
- The executive producer of PBS Nova, the ABC’s Robyn Williams and David Fisher.
- Freelancers filing for dozens of publications and websites including Science, Nature, Discovery, National Geographic.
- The heads of Research America and Research Sweden, the director of the World Federation of Science Journalists, representatives of the UK and Australian Science Media Centres, of the EuroScience Open Forum, RIKEN, and the IgNobels.
- Australian scientists speaking at AAAS including representatives of CSIRO and ANU.
Our partners in past dinners have included the Australian Government’s industry department, Australia’s SKA team, Inspiring Australia, COSMOS and the Australian Science Media Centre. We welcome partners who share our interest in sharing the best Australian science achievements with the world.
