Making the Jump from Studying the Brain to Science Journalism

Journalists report news and other information about science to the public which makes Science Journalism an extremely important part of Science Communication. This involves writing accurate, informative and (if appropriate) entertaining summaries of relevant results, interviewing expert scientists and researchers and conveying the information in ways that a non-specialist audience can understand. This is what Diana Kwon knows how to do best.

During this episode, we talked about all things writing, from student newspapers to freelance science journalism. Making the jump from full time research to entering this field can be extremely daunting and challenging. Every field of journalism is extremely competitive, and science reporting is no exception. Diana shared her journey with us and gave tips on what it takes to succeed in writing and explains how different journals operate. Get a nice cup of coffee, relax and join us for this really fun episode!
