Writing and Editing Science Stories

<p>“There&#39;s a lot going on in the world, And I think that sometimes science gets dropped a little bit ... But in terms of media as a whole, it&#39;s there. And I think there&#39;s a lot more work to do, but I think it&#39;s clawing its way ...  There is space for science in breaking news.” - Cat Williams</p><p>Welcome back to Season 3 of The SciComm Collective!
