AAAS Mass Media Science & Engineering Fellows Program
The 2014 AAAS Mass Media Science & Engineering Fellowship application is now available online. Please share this opportunity with your students. To learn more and to apply, please visit www.aaas.org/mmfellowship<http://weblaunch.blifax.com/listener3/redirect?l=d2ebd230-f3e6-47b1-b140-17ea8cf88221&id=cb353dd5-0456-e311-bd25-000c29ac9535&u=http%3a%2f%2fwww.aaas.org%2fmmfellowship>.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Mass Media Science & Engineering Fellowship seeks to increase communication skills in student scientists. From grant writing to interaction with their community, today’s young scientists must also be able science communicators. The lessons they learn through the Fellowship experience will broaden their career paths and help them increase public understanding of science and technology.
The Fellowship places advanced undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate science, engineering, and mathematics students at media sites nationwide to work as science reporters for ten weeks. Past sites include the Chicago Tribune, WIRED, NPR, LA Times, and Scientific American. Fellows use their academic training in the sciences as they research, write and report today’s headlines, sharpening their abilities to communicate complex scientific and technical issues to the public.
For 39 years, the Fellowship has trained student scientists who have gone on to contribute to the larger scientific discussion including Eric Lander, Founding Director The Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, and Kenneth Chang
and Erica Goode of the New York Times.
*NEW* Spanish Language Fellow(s) Initiative
AAAS wishes to focus on serving the growing Latino populations of the U.S. by supporting science communication and education in the language of those communities and by addressing issues of importance to the communities. For the first time, we are recruiting Spanish Language Fellow(s) who will be able to expand the work with mainstream Spanish news outlets to bring science news to Spanish speaking communities. Please contact mmfellowship@aaas.org<mailto:mmfellowship@aaas.org> for more information.
