British Science Association Media Fellowship

bsamfThe British Science Association Media Fellowships provide a unique opportunity for practising scientists, clinicians and engineers to gain experience working at the heart of a media outlet.

Experience first-hand how science is reported by spending 3-6 weeks on a summer placement with a print, broadcast or online journalist such as the Guardian, The Times or BBC. You will work with them to produce well informed, newsworthy pieces about developments in science.

You'll come away better equipped to communicate your research to the media, public and your colleagues. You will develop communication skills that could help you produce concise and engaging articles and funding applications.

Have a look at the scheme's impacts on Fellows, media hosts and scientific institutions.
