In a recently concluded meeting between scientists and science communicators of India, the need was felt to create a list of science communicators as well as scientific experts of the country.
Therefore, as part of the Dialogue initiative, we have now created a Google form through which all science communicators who wish to be part of a list of science journalists, can upload their information. They control how much of their contact information they would like to make public. We shall have a quick check on that information to make sure that there is no spamming. We shall then make the information available through a public list.
The form can be found here
The public list can be found here.
This information is the crucial first step towards a more uninhibited dialogue between scientists and the science journalists of India. We are also in the process of creating a corresponding list of scientific experts who will pledge to at least have a dialogue with science communicators as and when needed.
