Well there it was. The 5th World Conference of Science Journalists. What an adventure.
We wanted this conference to improve the status of science journalism here in Australia, strengthen and grow an international network of science communicators and promote the rich diversity of Australian science.
I believe we succeeded.
However success is in the eye of the delegate, speaker and sponsor. So the pertinent question is: what did you think? If you have a comment please leave it below. If you’d prefer your comment to remain private you can instead use our contact form.
Again my thanks to our many sponsors, speakers, session producers, those who assisted the organisers both locally and from afar, and of course to you the delegates.
I hope you enjoyed the conference and our city. See you in London in 2009.
Niall Byrne
Conference Director
Niall and Sarah thank you soooo much for a most excellent conference! The conference was very well arranged and diverse and always interesting.
This is my first WCSJ and I absolutely loved the experience! I found it very useful on different levels for my work as science editor.
I also found Melbourne to be a fantastic city which I enjoyed very much. I hope I visit it once again to meet up with all the friendships made there.
Yes, it was great! There are a couple more blogs and websites around that are connected to the conference. See e. g. the EUSJA Blog and the WCSJ page on TELI’s website (in German).
Greetings from Munich to everybody!
