Welcome to our latest members! Nearly 50 new members joined us in January and February

The ABSW champions independence and excellence in the reporting of science, medicine, engineering and technology. The association welcomes members who are truly looking to clearly communicate science at large but who also want to hold science and technology accountable.

During the first two months of 2024, the ABSW welcomed 49 new members. All members share the same benefits: free or discounted events, training and networking sessions, a members directory, access to scientific journals, and more.

Members can log in to our website and access members-only resources, they can update their profile and decide if they want to share it with other members or in a public directory that allows members to be contacted for a new job offer.

Join ABSW here!
