> Clare Wilson is the medical features editor at New Scientist magazine. Her job
> involves generating feature ideas by visiting labs, attending conferences and
> scanning medical journals, then commissioning and editing the resulting
> features and taking them through the production process. Clare's first job in
> journalism was as a science reporter on Scrip, a twice-weekly newsletter for
> the pharmaceutical industry, and she then moved on to Doctor, a weekly
> magazine for GPs. Clare has a BSc in Cell Biology from Manchester University.
>
> Stuart Clark is a writer with twenty years' experience. He has a PhD in
> astrophysics and so far this year has worked for New Scientist, The Economist,
> Focus, the European Space Agency and The Royal Society. He is the editor of
> Astronomy Now and is currently working on his thirteenth book, The Sun Kings,
> about the Victorians who witnessed the greatest solar explosion in recorded
> history.
>
> Nina Hall is a freelance science writer and editor, mostly working in the
> physical sciences, who has in the past been a features editor on several
> well-known science magazines. She prides herself in being able to turn the
> most difficult and dry science into something readable (and accurate) with the
> aid of good visual material. She gets a kick out of helping scientists put
> across their ideas, and is a dab hand at ghost-writing material for them.
>
> Chair: Rick Stevenson worked on Chemistry in Britain magazine for 25 years, as
> features editor, news editor, deputy editor, and the last 11 as editor -
> though he's actually a geologist by background! Since 2003 he has been a
> freelance writer. He was chairman of the ABSW from 1996 to 1998.
