This week I’m participating in the Knight Digital Media Center’s Indepedent Journalist Workshop at UC Berkeley. This class is only the second ever. The days are packed with all sorts of training, tools and strategies to move my work from print to the digital age.  Specifically, I am learning how to develop my blog about the sense of smell into an engaging online news community. It’s an amazing group of people form whom to learn so much. Thanks, KDMC

Three times in the charm! I’ve applied for a career grant from the National Association of Science Writers three times and was successful in the last round. That means that I can now invest in a suit of digital media tools that I need to grow in my career as a journalist. Thanks, NASW!
