We’re back in Sacramento for our next CapSciComm Networking Social! Join us this Wednesday, June 29th for the Capital Region’s only mixer for professionals and students in science communications! Whether you’re in journalism, PR, creative, policy, outreach, or research, come celebrate the third anniversary of Capital Science Communicators as we raise our glasses at New Helvetia Brewing Co. on Broadway.
If you’re new to the CapSciComm network, or if you’re interested in improving our programming and events, we especially invite you to attend. The CapSciComm Board will give a brief update about our continuing intiatives, including our Science Tours and Professional Workshops, and continuing support for science cafés and public science initiatives in the region. RSVP on Facebook, and we’ll see you soon!
