2009 Meeting

About New Horizons in Science ^®

The annual conference, New Horizons in Science, brings together distinguished scientists from a wide range of disciplines to discuss breaking developments in science, medicine, technology, and the environment.

The conference, which is put on for the members of the National Association of Science Writers, has been held annually since 1963. Its aim is to provide the science writers with news, background on important developments, and an opportunity to chat informally with some of the nation's leading researchers.

New Horizons is hosted by a different research university or laboratory every year. Past hosts have included Harvard, Rockefeller, Duke, Johns Hopkins and many others. Because the conference is in a different locale every year, it features presentations by researchers from local and regional institutions. But it also draws a broad range of presenters from around the country and around the world.

The aim is to provide an interesting mix of scientific disciplines, so that writers will not only get an update in their own fields, but will also be exposed to research in areas they do not regularly cover.

The program is organized by NASW member Paul Raeburn, with assistance and suggestions from colleagues at CASW and NASW. All program and funding decisions are made by the CASW board, which is drawn from the NASW membership.

New Horizons in Science is held in conjunction with the NASW Annual Meeting.

Future meetings will be held at:

University of Texas, Austin, Tex., October 16-20, 2009
Yale University, New Haven, Ct., October 2010
Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Ariz. October 2011
