I was just chosen as a Google Science Communications Fellow

Two days ago I received word that I’d be one of the first class of Google Science Communications Fellows.  The program is focusing first on climate change, and the 21 scientists selected are experts in various aspects of climate science and solutions.  A post on the Google blog gives more details.  The incoming class includes my friends Susanne Moser and Becky Shaw, as well as many other distinguished thinkers and doers in the climate world.

The blog post gives more details about how the group was selected:

“These fellows were elected from a pool of applicants of early to mid-career Ph.D. scientists nominated by leaders in climate change research and science-based institutions across the U.S. It was hard to choose just 21 fellows from such an impressive pool of scientists; ultimately, we chose scientists who had the strongest potential to become excellent communicators. That meant previous training in science communication; research in topics related to understanding or managing climate change; and experience experimenting with innovative approaches or technology tools for science communication.”

This will be a great opportunity to work with some terrific researchers . I’ll post more as I learn more.
