The ASBMB Today volunteer contributors program is open to all ASBMB members who want to practice journalistic writing or explore the field of science writing for a general audience. Each year, we publish more than 150 articles written by contributors in the program.
How it works
Volunteer contributors must write at least three articles within a calendar year.
Our volunteer contributors take a variety of assignments for articles to be published in the magazine and on our website. These include:
- Profiles of ASBMB members such as our annual award winners and others.
- News obituaries of members, focusing on contributions to science.
- Short summaries of papers in ASBMB journals.
- Longer articles about papers in our journals.
We also invite our contributors to submit essays on topics of interest to our members.
All submissions written by contributors are thoroughly edited by professional journalists.
ASBMB Today welcomes submissions from all ASBMB members and the ASBMB Today volunteer contributors program offers a unique opportunity for any member who wants to strengthen their writing skills. Volunteer contributors must be ASBMB members to participate in the program.
