I have another of my 6-week online writing classes starting Sat, Sep 1 (deadline to register is a week before - Aug 25), and the next starting Oct 13. Info here: www.wendeeholtcamp.com/nature.htm. Let me know if you have questions! My email is holtcamp_AT_embarqmail.com. This is to learn how to write about science, ecology, the environment and outdoor travel for magazines (& websites, if you're so inclined). A lot of Ecologgers have taken it in the past - whether you are a scientist wanting to write about your research or a grad student wanting to explore the idea of writing as a career (my background is I have a MS in Wildlife Ecology and not in journalism/English & I ended up a writer and photographer, and love it!)
In other news, I have an article you all may be interested in on science denial. This came out of my attending one of the first conferences on Science Denial, which was held in April in Madison (audience was mostly media). The article is called Flavors of Uncertainty: The Difference Between Denial and Debate and it's a feature in Environmental Health Perspectives. It is online here: http://ehp03.niehs.nih.gov/article/fetchArticle.action?articleURI=info%3Adoi%2F10.1289%2Fehp.120-a314 or here it is as a PDF (much better looking): http://wendeeholtcamp.com/sciencedenial.pdf. It even starts with a quote from Stephen Colbert! :) Enjoy! Wendee Wendee Holtcamp, M.S.
