Eleven budding science writers won NASW Travel Fellowships to attend the 2018 American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting. Their reports on selected sessions are being posted on the ScienceWriters web site.
Travel grants
The NASW Travel Fellowship to AAAS is one of three signature programs of the NASW Education Committee (together with the NASW Mentoring Program and NASW Internship Fair). The fellow experience includes specialized training and guidance on how to cover a meeting and how to report and structure stories, and several rounds of one-on-one editing by NASW volunteers.
NASW student members looking for great internships — or news and science organizations looking for top interns — should plan to attend the 2018 NASW Internship Fair.
Congratulations to this year's NASW Travel Fellows. These 10 undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds and educational institutions were selected by the NASW Education Committee to attend this year's AAAS annual meeting Feb. 16-20, in Boston. Each fellow will receive up to $1,000 to assist with travel. Fellows will each write a story for publication on the NASW website, and participate in the NASW mentoring program and NASW internship fair.
The National Association of Science Writers (NASW) will again sponsor several exciting programs for student journalists during the AAAS Annual Meeting in Boston, February 16-20. We are re-sending this note to remind you of the available programs.
NASW helped 10 undergraduates majoring in biology, English, physics, journalism, mathematics, neuroscience, and environmental studies by awarding them fellowships to attend the recently concluded annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. As part of their fellowship obligations, the students filed reports on selected AAAS sessions. You can read their reports on our event coverage page.
Ten talented undergraduate students from across the United States and from Mexico City and Puerto Rico met in Washington D.C. Feb. 11-15 to report on the 2016 American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting.
