SUMMARY:2022 National Science-Health-Environment Reporting Fellowship
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the fellowship\n\n\n\nApplications are now being accepted for the 2022-23 class of the National Science-Health-Environment Reporting Fellowships. (Meet last year’s class) \n\n\n\nAHCJ is once again collaborating with the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing and the Society of Environmental Journalists to offer this development opportunity to early-career journalists. \n\n\n\nThe fellowships are designed to support early-career journalists who are pursuing — or have a strong interest in pursuing — careers in science\, health or environmental reporting (or all three). \n\n\n\nThe program is primarily aimed at journalists in their first decade of professional work\, who are interested in boosting their ability and confidence to tackle some of the most important stories of the 21st century. \n\n\n\nThe program allows fellows to maintain their regular employment while attending intensive training opportunities across the country\, many of which will lead to stories for their employer or clients. Fellowship leaders and mentors will provide support and guidance through seminars\, calls and e-mail consultations. \n\n\n\nCurriculum will include basic science\, interpreting medical studies\, analyzing data\, explaining evidence-based decisions\, understanding climate science and more. \n\n\n\nThe program aspires to provide essential on-the-job training that might otherwise take years to accumulate. \n\n\n\nExpectations\n\n\n\nCandidates should be early-career\, U.S.-based working journalists — either staff or freelance — with at least two years of professional experience. \n\n\n\nFellows will be expected to attend a handful of training events during the program year. Program leaders will decide whether events will take place in person or virtually based on the latest public health considerations\, with fellows’ safety always top of mind. \n\n\n\nEach employer (or\, for a freelancer\, a news outlet that is a regular client) will be asked to provide a letter of recommendation for the applicant. Employers are also asked to pledge their support for the fellows’ participation in all training events. \n\n\n\nBoard members and staffers of the partner organizations are not eligible to apply. \n\n\n\nCASW\, AHCJ\, and SEJ are fully committed to diversity and inclusion in their memberships\, training programs\, and the larger journalism field. We welcome applicants who support that commitment. \n\n\n\nWhat’s covered\n\n\n\nThe fellowship provides: \n\n\n\n\nCustomized seminars and workshops offered in conjunction with the annual conferences produced by AHCJ\, SEJ\, and CASW/NASW\, including support for conference attendance\, food\, lodging\, and travel within the United States;\n\n\n\nA series of virtual events providing skill-building opportunities and updates on stories\, resources and new developments across science\, health\, medicine\, and environment\, including private breakout discussions with experts and trainers;\n\n\n\nTwo years’ membership (new or extended) in AHCJ\, SEJ and NASW\, assuming membership qualifications are met;\n\n\n\nRegistration to any virtual events held during the program year by AHCJ\, SEJ or CASW;\n\n\n\nMentoring opportunities with a senior journalist in a topic area of choice;\n\n\n\nPrivate online site for fellows to refer to training materials\, share reporting efforts and network with one another;\n\n\n\nFor freelancers\, a reporting project support stipend of $2\,000 after successfully completing the program.\n\n\n\n\nAnticipated schedule\n\n\n\nTentative dates and sites (including whether in-person or virtual)\, depending upon public health recommendations: \n\n\n\n\nKick-off seminar\, Oct. 6-7\, 2022 (to be held via Zoom)\n\n\n\nScienceWriters2022\, Memphis\, Tenn.\, Oct. 21-25\, 2022\n\n\n\nHealth Journalism 2023\, St. Louis\, Mo.\, March 9-12\, 2023\n\n\n\nSEJ2023\, Boise\, Idaho\, April 19-23\, 2023\n\n\n\nCustom webinar briefings held periodically through the year\n\n\n\nCareer development seminar and graduation (June or July 2023)\n\n\n\n\nApplication checklist \n\n\n\n\nCover letter introducing yourself\, your journalism background\, efforts at career development\, and explaining why you are seeking the fellowship.\n\n\n\nA current resume or CV.\n\n\n\nA letter of recommendation from your current employer that addresses the benefits of the fellowship to you and the news organization’s audience as well as the employer’s commitment to support your full participation in the fellowship. Freelance applicants should submit a letter of recommendation from a regular client or assigning editor who can speak to your abilities and the value you would derive from participating.\n\n\n\nTwo sample news or feature stories published or aired during the past 12 months.\n\n\n\n\nThe application deadline is Sept. 1\, 2022\, at 6 p.m. ET\, 5 p.m. CT\, 3 p.m. PT.

SUMMARY:“Breathless:” A Q&A with science writer David Quammen
DESCRIPTION:Noon ET Wednesday\, Dec. 14 \nJoin us for a discussion with veteran science journalist David Quammen whose most recent book\, “Breathless: The Scientific Race to Defeat a Deadly Virus\,” details the story of how virologists and other scientists have worked to unravel the mysteries of SARS-CoV-2\, the virus that causes COVID-19. Quammen will also talk about what he learned about the various origin theories and what lessons can be applied to the next\, likely pandemic. \nThe New York Times describes the book as a “luminous\, passionate account of the defining crisis of our time — and the unprecedented international response to it.” Bring your questions about craft\, grasping difficult science and spotting the next pandemic for this 45-minute Q&A. \nView the webcast \nDavid Quammen \nBara Vaida \nDavid Quammen is an author and journalist whose seventeen books include “The Song of the Dodo” (1996)\, “The Reluctant Mr. Darwin” (2006)\, and “The Tangled Tree” (2018). His 2012 book\, “Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic\,” described the dynamics of viral spillover from wildlife into humans and predicted a coming pandemic\, possibly caused by a coronavirus. \nHis new book\, “Breathless: The Scientific Race to Defeat a Deadly Virus\,” describes the scientific effort to trace the origins and evolution of the Covid-19 virus\, SARS-CoV-2\, and to combat the pandemic it caused. \nQuammen’s magazine work has appeared in National Geographic\, The New Yorker\, Outside\, Harper’s\, The Atlantic\, Rolling Stone\, and The New York Review of Books\, among other magazines\, and his Op-Eds in the New York Times and other newspapers. He’s a three-time recipient of the National Magazine Award and has received several awards for his books\, including the Premio Letterario Merck\, given in Rome. He shares a home in Bozeman\, Montana\, with his wife\, Betsy Gaines Quammen\, author of the book “American Zion\,” plus three borzois\, a cross-eyed cat\, and a rescue python named Boots. \n
