Friends! If you're attending #sciwri26 this weekend, stop through our Saturday panel: how to report on science with a policy lens. With the great @aniloza.bsky.social @dangaristo.bsky.social @alexwitze.bsky.social -- gonna be a 🔥 session, y'all sciencewriters2026.org/schedule/
Putting Policy in Perspective: How to report on science with a policy lens
NASW Professional Development Session
4:00 PM – 5:00 PM
CH2M Hill Alumni Center, Cascade Ballroom C
Description
Sweeping changes to U.S. science policy made by the Trump administration have upended the research landscape and, by association, the science writers who cover it. From student writers to seasoned correspondents, we’re all struggling to understand often-byzantine policies and their impacts, so that we can explain to our readers and listeners. This session will equip science writers with the tools to cover science policy and its effects on science.

Some of the most important and compelling science stories incorporate policy: coverage of pollution regulations, vaccination schedules, missions to Mars, and more. Many, if not most, science stories can be made stronger and more insightful with policy context included. Just as meteorologists now talk about climate change during their weather forecasts, science writers can include relevant policy details into their stories to place scientific results in context.

Our speakers have a wealth of experience covering science policy in the Trump administration and will speak about how they've broken news, investigated, and turned policy news into a narrative. They’ll share broadly applicable resources for sourcing, contacting government agencies, using databases, understanding legal battles — the nuts and bolts of what’s needed to cover science policy in this environment. Following these presentations, there will be a moderated Q&A and time for questions from the audience.

Starbucks Workers United @sbworkersunited.org · 25/08/2026
🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:
BOYCOTT STARBUCKS is written inside a zig-zaggy speech bubble against crumbled paper. Beside it are the Starbucks Workers United logo and an image of a coffee cup being poured out.We, the 12,000 and growing members of Starbucks Workers United, call on everyone who stands with working people to boycott Starbucks until they finalize a contract with union baristas and stop union-busting.
What we’re fighting for is simple: a minimum $17/hr wage, enough hours to live on, better staffing in our stores, and basic workplace protections. Every year, our living costs rise but our wages don’t keep up – a growing pressure many American workers are feeling as corporate greed accelerates unchecked in our country. 
Starbucks is banking on customers' blind loyalty to the integrity and values this company once stood for in order to keep squeezing them for profits. At a time when working-class people across the country are struggling in a challenging economy, it is no longer possible to be both a Starbucks customer and in support of workers; choosing to spend money at Starbucks is choosing a law breaking corporation over the baristas who make your coffee everyday exactly as you ask for it.
Starbucks has violated U.S. labor law more than any other company in modern history–the NLRB and its judges have found that Starbucks committed hundreds of labor violations and there are currently more than 550 unresolved unfair labor practice charges still pending against the company. Instead of finalizing a fair and reasonable union contract, Starbucks has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of care for the workers who fuel the company’s profits by wasting millions of dollars on AI and technology that doesn’t work, launching countless gimmicky drinks designed to distract from real problems, and inventing pointless policies that do nothing but make our jobs harder. 
This ongoing, irrational behavior by Starbucks and its refusal to settle a fair union contract with workers leaves us with no other choice than to call for a boycott. We know when working people stand up together, we win. 
No Contract? No Coffee.
