Generative AI is rapidly changing the landscape of all creative professions, science writing and communication are no exception. AI tools are evolving fast and it can be daunting to know how to approach them in an ethical and mindful way. 

In this hands-on session, we will discuss the landscape of AI tools available to help analyze research, edit writing, and produce multimedia. We'll talk about what these tools are good for, what they're really bad at, and where the ethical lines are.

This event will be held on Zoom. Participants will receive a link by email before the event.
