Each month, Sky & Telescope publishes an array of in-depth articles, including stories on the latest research in astronomy. How do these articles come together? In this talk, Science Editor Camille Carlisle will give you the inside scoop on S&T’s science journalism, from how she and her colleagues find article ideas and authors to the (sometimes grueling) editing and fact-checking process, as well as illustration creation. If you’ve ever wondered what goes into creating the stories that appear in S&T and your other favorite science magazines — or even if you’ve never thought about it before — here’s your chance to find out.
