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 10 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 1 million.
AAAS selects 15-20 Fellows each summer. There is a $4,500 stipend plus
travel expenses.
Deadline is January 15, 2011.
