science/adventure book No Apparent Danger, and is working on the
production of a documentary about a kidnapped presidential candidate in
Colombia, which will be released in January 2003.
-
Cristina Rumbaitis-Del Rio, 2002 AGU Mass Media Fellow with WOSU-AM,
Columbus Ohio. Ms. Rumbaitis-Del Rio is currently finishing her doctoral
degree in natural resources at the University of Colorado - Boulder.
Congressional Science Fellows deal with science issues in
the office of a Senator, Representative, or committee for a full year.
-
Karen Wayland,
2001-2002 AGU Congressional Science Fellow, spent her Fellowship in the
office of Senator Harry Reid (D-NV).
