Cheer squad or critic? Awareness raiser, crusader or watchdog? What is the role of science and medical writers today?
Join us for a discussion on this, and more, by a panel of expert science and medical writers in Sydney on 17 May. This is a joint event of the Australian Science Communicators and the Australasian Medical Writers' Association.
Our speakers are:

As well as the role of science and medical writers they'll be covering:
- employment options
- audiences, styles and philosophies in science and medical writing
- relationships with other fields.
This session is for anyone who cares about the public discussion of science and medicine.
Drinks and nibbles start at 6 pm, discussion begins at 6:30 pm (for about an hour).
