Face to facebook

"Welcome aspiring science journalists!" trills the new "Student Association of British Science Writers" group on Facebook.

Set up by Carolyn Kelday (Royal Holloway, University of London), the ABSW Committee's student representative, the new Facebook Group is sponsored by ABSW - "the organisation that science journalists and writers join for professional discussions, networking and socialising".

The group is open to all students who have an interest in communicating science. But as the Group's blurb says: "we hope you find out more about the ABSW and consider becoming members to enjoy all of the benefits".
