Please share this opportunity with your
students.
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 benefit their career
path and help them increase public understanding of science and
technology.
The Fellowship places senior undergraduate and graduate
science, engineering and mathematics students at media sites nationwide to work
as science reporters for ten weeks. Past sites include the Chicago
Tribune, NPR and Scientific American. By exposing reporters and
editors to the expertise of student scientists, while also training those same
students in the nuances of journalism, the program can improve the quality of
information that is disseminated.
For more than 30 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; Edward J. Weiler, Acting Associate Administrator
for the Science Mission Directorate, NASA; and Kenneth Chang and Erica Goode of
the New York Times.
AAAS is an international non-profit organization
dedicated to advancing science around the world. Founded in 1848, AAAS serves
some 262 affiliated societies and academies of science, serving 10 million
individuals. AAAS also publishes the journal Science, which has the
largest paid circulation of any peer-reviewed general science journal in the
world, with an estimated total readership of one million.
AAAS selects 15
- 20 Fellows each summer. There is a $4500 stipend plus travel
expenses.
Deadline is January 15, 2010.
