 Diversity Fellowships in Environmental Reporting
 Environmental Reporting Fellowships (2001-2006)
 Blogs By Fellows

This one-week fellowship program is an intensive, hands-on workshop that puts reporters in the field every morning and in the lab each afternoon with scientists, graduate students, and policy experts. The Tenth Annual Science Immersion Workshop for Journalists will take place June 8 through June 15, 2008, in Narragansett, Rhode Island.

The program, which coincides with our Annual Public Lecture Series, includes a public lecture or panel discussion each day and an informal lecture and discussion by leading writers and researchers at night.

The fellowship program examines the connection between public policy and scientific research, fosters communication between scientists and journalists, and describes the process of scientific inquiry. Discussions range from disagreement within the scientific community, scientific uncertainty, and how to interpret statistics, to how to decipher good science from bad.

Fellowships are available to print, broadcast and electronic journalists who are interested in marine and environmental science reporting. Each fellowship provides room, board, and tuition to attend the program workshop (Sunday-Friday) at University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography. The fellowship includes limited compensation for travel.
