Regardless of where you do your science writing, your work is going to appear on the Web, a highly visual medium that combines the best of both print and television.

This site is a resource companion to an October 17, 2009 workshop at the National Association of Science Writers meeting.

We'll show you some easy-to-use, readily available tools that can add pop to any story, and we'll provide a few tips and sources of inspiration.

Please email your suggestions and discoveries to make this site better. (karlleif_at_gmail.com)
