Waiter, There's a Phthalate in My Soup
Reporting on the Science and Impacts of Toxic Chemicals

fellowships@metcalfinstitute.org by February 24, 2010
The revised application package should include only the following items:
- application form [Download the Application]
- resume
- statement of interest in the attending the seminar
With growing public awareness of toxic exposures in the air, water and ground around us, journalists must bridge the gap between science and public perception. The subtle caveats of environmental toxicology can be lost in translation, leaving news audiences confused and regulators and scientists frustrated.
Metcalf Institute and Brown University Superfund Research Program will offer a two-day seminar for journalists featuring leading environmental scientists and writers. Participants will visit research labs and discuss case studies on the communication of bisphenol-A and air quality impacts.
The seminar is tuition-free and includes lodging, but travel costs are not included and space is limited. Working journalists with at least four years of professional experience who are reporting in the U.S. may apply. Applications must be postmarked by February 24, 2010.
