I, too, am new to this group and interested in visualizations. I work
in a bioinformatics group that makes genomic information available
online, so I'm interested in informative ways to present genomic
information visually.

Hello, everyone: 

If anyone has resources or ideas regarding workshops/training on chemistry 
 and technology used for personal care materials, please send let me know. 
I am talking about cosmetics, hair and skin care, for both men and women.
I've checked the NY chapter of the SCC (Society of Cosmetic Chemists) 
without much luck. 

Thanks in advance for your ideas.

Please educate people about how fragrance chemicals can trigger asthma
attacks. Here are a couple of web sites that list good source material:

Thanks, Daniel. I understand.. I've worked with people of both genders who 
are oblivious to the awful effect of their copiously applied artificial 
scent. 

To everyone: 
I did find one organization that offers classes on  scientific topics, 
scholarly publishing, and writing skills for the scientist :  the American 
Medical Writers Association. Most classes are given at chapter meetings. A 
few basic subjects are available on CD.  Has anyone had any experience 
with this group? 
For the curious: http://www.amwa.org

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

They're reputable and well-respected, though their friendliness to 
non-members (and particularly freelancers) tends to be variable based 
on reports from a friend. No personal experience with them yet.

My approach to self-education is to hit up local professors via e-mail 
or telephone to ask them about suitable beginning (or advanced, more 
rarely) textbooks in a field. I then hit abebooks.com to see if I can 
find a used copy. I then spend the next year working through the text, 
a chapter at a time, in gaps between my other duties. Re-taught myself 
genetics this way, and hope to begin on microbiology later this year, 
followed by cognitive science.

Yes! I was a member for many years, when I was doing freelance medical 
writing. They are a really great group. They offer classes in medical 
communication and related topics (like statistics, tables and graphs, 
writing INDs and NDAs, medical english usage, etc.). I remember taking 
a short course on pharmacology for science writers that was good. If 
they are offering something that sounds like what you want, it's likely 
to be worth your while. They also offer classes at their annual 
conference. There may be a regional conference in your area, too.
