This week's webinar is entitled "Talking to Journalists: The Whys, Why
Nots, and How Tos" and will be presented by Martin Sharp, Earth and
Atmospheric Sciences, University of Alberta. Scientists are often
reluctant to talk to the media about their work. This session will
discuss why that is, why they should do it, and what they can do to make
it a good experience.
