This week's webinar is entitled "Blogging to Improve Scientific
Communication." It will be presented by Mathew Reeve of the University
of Bergen. Scientific writing is like a language. To become fluent you
need to overcome a certain amount of fear. You need to repeat the
techniques you have learned so that your skills improve. Finally, you
need to continue to talk this new language so that you do not forget
your new skills. ClimateSnack builds on these ideas and offers an
unintimidating approach to climate blogging, where the main aim is to
improve writing skills as part of a community, rather than by oneself.
This webinar will introduce participants to the ClimateSnack concept and
how people can get involved in science blogging.

TO ATTEND THE WEBINAR
