About The Open Notebook:
The Open Notebook, founded in 2010 by journalists Jeanne Erdmann and Siri Carpenter, is a non-profit organization that provides unique tools and resources to help science journalists at all experience levels hone their craft. Science journalism is changing, but the ability to recognize and sharpen important ideas, ask incisive questions about complex subjects, and tell accurate, compelling stories — often on shorter deadlines and with fewer reporting and editorial resources than ever before — will always be essential.
