Congratulations to Emily Toomey for being selected as 2019 AAAS Mass Media Fellow.
The AAAS Mass Media Fellowship is a competitive program aimed at encouraging communication in science and fostering connections between scientists and journalists. Each year, fellows are placed at media organizations nationwide for ten weeks to write and report on the latest news in science, and to explain scientific concepts to a broad audience. This year, 26 fellows were selected based on resumes, writing samples, and recommendations. Emily will be working at Smithsonian Magazine in Washington, D.C.
