✨ Proud to be part of The Open Notebook’s Mentorship Program, a community that has inspired me to grow as a science journalist. @Open_Notebook 🎙️ English Session – How Journalists Reveal Science as a Human Process through Storytelling At #SJF25, this inspiring panel explored how journalists can portray science not just as a collection of facts — but as a deeply human process, full of uncertainty, creativity, and discovery. 🌍✨ @ScienceJF Featuring contributors to The Open Notebook’s forthcoming book, “The Best Science Stories and How They Work”, panelists shared real-world strategies and storytelling techniques that engage audiences while reinforcing public trust in science. 🧠💬 @Open_Notebook Siri Carpenter, Emily Laber-Warren, Ramin Skibba, and Shraddha Chakradhar discussed how transparent and ethical storytelling can make the scientific process visible — and in doing so, strengthen the vital bond between science and society. 🤝🔬 @SiriCarpenter #SJF25 #ScienceJournalism #Storytelling #TheOpenNotebook #ScienceCommunication #TrustInScience #SciComm #ScienceWriters

🎙️ English Session – Truth Decay: Science Journalism in the Misinformation Age In an era flooded with misinformation and disinformation, this #SJF25 session explored one of the most pressing challenges of our time — truth itself. 🌍🧠 @ScienceJF Kai Kupferschmidt, Contributing Correspondent at Science Magazine, and Ashley Smart, Associate Director of the Knight Science Journalism Program at MIT, discussed how false or distorted information about science impacts policy, personal decisions, and the credibility of the scientific enterprise. 🧬📰 @kakape The conversation highlighted the critical role of science journalists in identifying, contextualizing, and countering misinformation — not just to inform the public, but to rebuild trust in science and journalism. 🤝✨ #SJF25 #ScienceJournalism #TruthDecy #Misinformation #Disinformation #TrustInScience #KnightScienceJournalism #ScienceMagazine #SciComm

🎙️ English Session – Barriers to Science Journalism Careers: Implications for Diversity and Trust @ScienceJF At #SJF25, the Association of British Science Writers (ABSW) and the Science Communication Unit at the University of the West of England presented the findings of a national survey conducted under the EU-funded COALESCE project. 🌍 The discussion shed light on the barriers faced by aspiring and current science journalists — from low salaries and irregular incomes to discrimination and harassment within the field. 💬 Speakers Andy Ridgway, Vera Novais, and Emma Weitkamp shared valuable insights into how these challenges impact diversity, inclusion, and trust in science journalism. 🧠 @VN0VAIS @AndyRidgway1 The session invited participants from around the world to share their own experiences and strategies for creating a more inclusive and resilient global science journalism community. 🤝✨ #SJF25 #ScienceJournalism #DiversityInMedia #Inclusion #TrustInScience #COALESCE #ABSW #UWE #SciComm

🎙️ #SJF25 Panel: Pan-European Science Journalism Associations – Learning from the Past for a Better Future @ScienceJF What can science journalism networks learn from over 50 years of experience? 🌍 In this session, Mico Tatalovic, Fintan Burke, Luisa Massarani, and Agnès Vernet discuss the lessons from EUSJA, EFSJ, and the Brazilian Institute of Public Communication of Science and Technology, exploring how to build a stronger, more inclusive, and global science journalism community. 🧠🤝 @MTatalovic @LuisaMassarani 📌 EUSJA (European Union of Science Journalists’ Associations): Founded in 1971, it unites national associations from more than 25 European countries. 📌 EFSJ (European Federation for Science Journalism): Established in 2017, it welcomes individual journalists and promotes ethical, independent, and inclusive science journalism. 📌 Brazilian Institute of Public Communication of Science and Technology: A leading organization in Latin America that strengthens regional collaboration and global partnerships in science communication. 🌎 #ScienceJournalism #SJF25 #EUSJA #EFSJ #SciDevNet #Media #Communication
