The 47th class of Mass Media Science & Technology Fellows heading out to newsrooms around the country this summer is part of one of the oldest ongoing science communication initiatives by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Since 1975, more than 750 scientists, engineers, and mathematicians in the fellowship have spent 10 weeks reporting and writing news stories at media outlets around the US. For the participants, the program is a way to explore a new career or improve their science communication skills. But alumni and AAAS staff say the fellowship also expands the public audience for scientific news. “Journalism, writing, communicating about science these are all critical for shaping public understanding of the world around us,” said AAAS CEO Sudip Parikh to the newest fellowship class on 2 June.
