AAAS Mass Media Science & Engineering Fellows Program

Application Procedure

The 2008 applications are due January 15, 2008.



"Instead of looking down a microscope as a scientist, I had the chance to look back up at scientists themselves. In the end, I came away with a journalist's perspective of scientists, and a few ideas to improve the relationship from the scientific side."

Victoria Bruce, AGU Mass Media Fellow, 1997
