Quote from Unnati Akhouri, a 2024 Mass Media Fellow at StateImpact Pennsylvania on a beige background. Text in blue reading "I learned how to identify what medium- web story, radio, podcast episode, or animation- is best for communicating the different types of story. I came with experience in communicating physical sciences but there is a crucial way in which this summer felt different."

Quote from Rudy Molinek, a 2024 Mass Media Fellow at Smithsonian Magazine on a beige background. Text in blue reading "I was able to pitch, report, and write feature stories on a wide range of topics- far beyond the types of stories I thought I'd work on when the summer kicked off. I'm so thankful for the opportunity and look forward to keeping telling stories about science in the years to come"
