SCIENCE WORKSHOP with AVAILABLE FELLOWSHIPS
Coastal Impacts: Energy Sources and Marine Environment
Who cares if we’re landlocked?! The Metcalf Institute’s Twelfth Annual Science Immersion Workshop for Journalists on Coastal Impacts: Energy Sources and the Marine Environment is taking place June 6 – 11, 2010 and SPJ, New Mexico Chapter members are encouraged to apply. This weeklong science immersion workshop is held at the University of Rhode Island’s Graduate School of Oceanography, a leading marine science research campus. The program teams journalists with scientists and regulatory experts to work in the field and lab and consider research and policy on marine and coastal environmental issues. Fellows gain a better understanding of environmental science research methods, cultivate scientific sources, and sharpen reporting skills. 2010 Fellows will explore the value of different energy sources in mitigating climate change and how these options affect surrounding environments. Fellowships are available to working journalists in all media and include tuition, room, board, and limited travel support. There is limited space for non-U.S. citizens. Program details and applications are available at www.metcalfinstitute.org.
