The following list contains the year of receipt, name of the recipient, current position, the media outlet to which the recipient was assigned, and their affiliation when accepted into the program.
AAAS/AGU Mass Media Fellows articles from Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union describe their experiences and provide unique insights from scientists who have spent a summer learning to be messengers. Their experiences illustrate the false expectations and challenges in communicating a message that are faced by novice scientists in addition to providing pointers for improving communication.
