$15K for our 15th birthday!?!

Today is @theopennotebook.bsky.social's 15th birthday! 🥳 That's 15 years of FREE resources for journalists who cover science. Please celebrate by supporting TON! Your donation will be doubled up thanks to our amazing matching donors. www.theopennotebook.com/15thannivers...

Open science poses both promises and perils for public trust in science. It's up to scientists, publishers, and journalists to make sure it's used well. Join us for a conversation on this evolving topic, hosted by @shorensteinctr.bsky.social on Monday Oct 6! shorensteincenter.org/new-event/ca...

And now for some backstory -- Bringing the Science Reporting Navigator into the world (out TODAY at @theopennotebook.bsky.social) was a true journey. www.theopennotebook.com/science-repo...

Every Story is a Science Story. That’s why, with @rjionline.bsky.social, TON has been hard at work developing a free tool to make it easier for journalists on any beat to strengthen their stories by incorporating science. And today, that tool - the Science Reporting Navigator - is live! 🧪

📢 Applications for @theopennotebook.bsky.social's early-career fellowship program are OPEN! This year-long training opportunity (made possible by @bwfund.bsky.social) provides 1:1 mentoring and the opportunity to write stories for TON. Apply by October 31! www.theopennotebook.com/early-career...

Excited to join this conversation with @needhibhalla.bsky.social, @richardsever.bsky.social & @gabestein.com! We'll be talking about open science's role in public trust in science and how journalists and scientists can adapt to changes in academic publishing. shorensteincenter.org/new-event/ca...

Freelance science writers: Does your work include a mix of journalism and non-reporting projects? E.g. editing, photography, translating, institutional comms, grant writing, teaching, etc.? If so, I'd like to speak with you for a story at The Open Notebook! DMs open/skylerdware[at]gmail.com
