Getting the word out of scientists
I had an interview with a scientist on his recent discovery, all i gathered from the interview were his own side other scientists decline comment on the issue. He told me the discovery was published in a science journal that i can't access. what do i do

Can I suggest you put all the contact details for the Nigerian Science Association on your page, because I'm going to do that for the South African version (gets luanched later this month) and this might be the best one-stop-shop for all Afro science organisations.
Am a new member and a intending publisher. I love to know more about this site and to know about media centter. Thanks alot.
I work in Ethiopia one of the poorest countries in Africa. Access to reasonable internet speeds is difficult and i am limited to about an hour a day. :-D Love it here though. I am working for a media women's organisation. Have a nice weekend
I would love to exchange information and knwledge. It opens doors for more inspiration and creativity.
My Skype account is 'apogeee'
I´m Laura, from Argentina. I read the message you left on my page, I would also like to know you more! During the conference we were so busy, with so many things to do, that we couldn´t talk!!
Surely it is great to work with the News Agency of Nigeria, isn´t it? I´m at a science, medicine and technology section of a weekly newspaper, I have fun there, I´m learning a lot!
OH! I would like to know if you are participating in the Peer to Peer Program of the World Federation of Science Journalists. Here in Argentina we don´t have that program, so I wonder how it is like.
See you!
Laura.

Used to work for daily broadsheets but now, with my present job, I'm learning more and more about online stuff. Unlike other wire services, we don't 'break' the news but look into the story behind the story :) I edit online content and also help out in the workshops for Mekong journalist fellows that we hold every year. It's very interesting and very 'enlightening' :) Thanks for reading the info re Asia Media Report. Please share the info with your friends and colleagues :)
