  • What do you want to know from a science journalist?

    On June 25 at 2 p.m. Eastern Time, everyone is invited to participate in Sigma Xi's Google Hangout with science journalist Miles O'Brien! Miles is a producer and science correspondent for PBS NewsHour, among other assignments. He will become an honorary member of Sigma Xi at this year's Annual Meeting. We want to know: What would you like to ask this award-winning science journalist? Submit your questions to this thread or, better yet, ask them during the hangout. We want this online event to be as valuable as possible to Sigma Xi members so your input is important. The topics we are planning to cover so far include: -His advice for scientists and engineers about communicating their work to members of the media. -His advice on how researchers can most effectively share their work with the public. -What he thinks are the biggest science stories of this year and what might be the biggest science stories next year. We hope you join the hangout!
