The 'European Initiative for Communicators of Science' (EICOS) again invites journalists into its "Hands-on Laboratory" (May 17-24, 2008) at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Goettingen, Germany. Deadline for applications is February 15, 2008.
The programme is aimed at journalists with a wide range of backgrounds and interests who wish to gather first-hand experience of techniques of molecular biology, to discuss their wider implications for the society with researchers, to gain contacts for future stories, and to meet colleagues from different media and different countries.
