Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Listen to the B-Scientists podcast, then email contactus@thebsci.org to ask about the next online workshop or info session..
What to expect
Most of the group is online: a podcast, a magazine on B-Scientists.com, and workshops on science journalism and video, some held online and at least one listed in Philadelphia. The events page lists dates without years and gives no times, costs or sign-up steps, so email before you plan to attend. The 2026 photo and story contest, now past its entry deadline, was open only to U.S.-based scientists, storytellers and journalists.
Tips for your first visit
- Email contactus@thebsci.org for event times, costs and how to register, since the events page does not list them.
- Start with the podcast to get a feel for the group before you attend an event.
