I recently completed the Professional Certificate in Science Journalism (Part II) course, and I must say it was a great experience. As a journalist from Brazil, I was looking for a course that would help me improve my skills in science journalism, and this course delivered. The course content was well-structured and easy to follow, with a good balance of theoretical and practical knowledge. I found the module on science writing particularly useful, as it provided me with practical tips and techniques for crafting compelling stories.

My only suggestion for improvement would be to include more examples from Latin America, as this would make the course more relevant to journalists from this region. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others looking to improve their science journalism skills.
