For Scientists
Register as an expert
Register to stay informed about SciLine Media Training sessions and other professional development opportunities. If you’re a Ph.D. scientist, registering also adds you to our database of experts interested in opportunities to share their expertise with the media. Being in the database means we may find and reach out to you when a journalist is seeking a source with your specific expertise for a story, or when we’re recruiting speakers for media briefings or other interview opportunities. We don’t post information from our database publicly and will always check with you first before sharing your contact information with a member of the media.
