@statnews.com is having a Black Friday / Cyber Monday sale of 6 months of STAT+ for $20, which is insane. Grab it now:

PS: Meeting so many folks who want to get into #scicomm / #sciencejournalism at #sciwri25 is pushing me to update Bri and my old Beginner's Guide to a Career in Science Writing, which is horribly outdated. Watch this space! And contact me if you have any contributions.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the fellowship or application process!

Having some basic experience/idea of what you're doing will make your application better (I say, having submitted a terrible application the first time I applied).

But as a wise MMF program director once said, it's not your job to decide whether you're unqualified; that's the hiring manager's job.

✨ If you too dream of making the jump from science to journalism, THIS could be YOU! ✨

📋 Applications for next summer's Mass Media Fellowship are open now thru January 1 and YOU SHOULD APPLY: www.aaas.org/programs/mas...

Over the years, @bribarbu.bsky.social and @katrinamillerphd.bsky.social and I have seen each other through job hunts, thesis defenses, job offer bargains, promotions, how does your newsroom do this, do you have advice for this situation, etc.

Usually pre-writes just leave some [insert date and age here] type stuff, I imagine all the editor did was add the link!

You're in luck: The magnificent @ericboodman.bsky.social wrote Sharon's obituary and it makes me cry every time
