Hi everyone —

For the last year or so, I’ve been dabbling in freelance science writing. I joined the National Association of Science Writers as a student member, and I thought the the newsletters provided a lot of useful information for someone starting out.

I’m curious to see what other people thought about the advantages of becoming a full member. As far as I can tell, the best resources seem to come from the networking and workshops that take place at national meetings and workshops, neither of which I’ve attended.

Are there any other members out there who can share their experiences? Alternatively, are there any other professional societies that you find more useful?
