You may have seen this CDC communications fellowship in a previous edition of the newsletter. They’ve extended the deadline, so you can still apply by Oct 16!
If you’re a science student looking for SciComm experience, consider the AAAS mass media fellowship. I was a fellow in 2017 at Discover, and I’m still benefiting from it because they have an awesome alumni network! Apply by Jan 1!

Freestone Environmental Services is hiring someone to write and manage their web comms including blogs, a newsletter, and social media. (via Science Communications Jobs FB group)
If you’re into physics and math, consider interning for Quanta this spring or summer. They call it a writing internship but the responsibilities list is mostly fact checking and researching, so idk. Located at their NYC office.
This financial research company (that employs just so many white men) is hiring a health and wellness research writer?? The job description says, “What books have you read this past six months? If the answer is less than 7, don’t bother. Seriously.” so maybe your job would be to edit their job ads, because clearly that question was supposed to be “how many”. (via Scicomm Board)
