Beachcombing With Biologists

Ocean Science Journalism Fellows learn about the ecology of Wood Neck Beach in Falmouth during a 2015 field trip with WHOI biologist Annette Govindarajan (far left) and Woods Hole Sea Grant educator Kate Madin (left). Seven writers, radio, and multimedia science journalists from the U.S., England, and India were recently selected to participate in this year’s program, which takes place September 25-30, 2016. Through seminars with top scientists and engineers, laboratory visits, and brief field expeditions, Ocean Science Journalism Fellows gain access to new research findings and to fundamental background information in engineering, marine biology, geology and geophysics, marine chemistry and geochemistry, and physical oceanography.
