Dr. Ashley Rose Mehlenbacher, of UWaterloo English, has been elected President of the Association for the Rhetoric of Science, Technology, and Medicine. As many Words in Place readers know, this aligns perfectly with her research expertise: her book Science Communication Online: Engaging Experts and Publics on the Internet, is forthcoming in Spring 2019 from The Ohio State University Press.
The Association for the Rhetoric of Science, Technology, and Medicine is an independent scholarly organization that promotes rhetorical scholarship and facilitates networking across disciplines and institutions. Their primary meetings occur in collaboration with two larger conferences: the annual National Communication Association (NCA) meeting and the biennial Rhetoric Society of America (RSA) conference.
