We are the people who write science for the public. We are interpreters of quantum physics and flu shots. We are behind the scenes at research centers, and we are in front of angry mobs at newspapers. We are bloggers, editors, producers and strategists.

Please consider joining us, if you agree with our mission to improve science literacy and improve the professional lives of our members. We collaborate with many other science organizations in the Puget Sound area, including Science on Tap, the Pacific Science Center, the Forum for Science, Ethics and Policy, and others. We also maintain a good relationship with the national leader, the National Association of Science Writers.

We bring together audiences for improving the craft of writing and communication, and for learning about transformational themes in science.
