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.

When Kelly Gilkey was in high school, she sent an email to astronaut Pamela Melroy, asking if it might be possible for a person with a hearing loss like Gilkey to become a NASA astronaut.
“Amazingly, she responded and said the sky was the limit,” Gilkey recalled. “If NASA could fly astronauts who needed glasses to see clearly, who was to say what might be possible some day?”
Gilkey got her first chance to work for NASA as a participant in Entry Point!, the American Association for the Advancement of Science s internship program for undergraduate and graduate students with disabilities in science, engineering, mathematics, and computer science. As an Entry Point! intern, she worked at NASA Glenn Research Center and NASA contractor Wyle Laboratories.
