Explorations of the science of the COVID-19 pandemic, investigations into creatures ranging from picas to orcas, and articles and videos about our warming world are just a few of the works of science reporting that have earned AAAS Kavli Science Journalism Awards in recent years.

The program is a way for researchers to explore a new career or improve their science communication skills, while also expanding the public audience for science news.
