Description |
Increasing public understanding of science and technology is one of the
principle goals of the American Association for the Advancement of
Science (AAAS).
Now in its 30th year, the Mass Media Science & Engineering Fellows
Program has helped improve coverage of science and technology in the
media. Participating Fellows work for 10 weeks during the summer as
reporters, researchers and production assistants in mass media
organizations nationwide. Fellows collaborate with media professionals
at radio and television stations, newspapers and magazines. The
student-scientists and their host-journalists strive to make science
news clear and comprehensive to the public.
Applicants must be enrolled as college or university students (in their
senior year, or any graduate or post graduate level) in the natural,
physical, health, engineering, computer or social sciences, or
mathematics to apply. Students enrolled in English, journalism or
science journalism programs are not eligible for this fellowship. |
