IPY: Improving the Public's Understanding of Polar Research Through Hands-On Fellowships for Science Journalists in the Arctic and Antarctic

该项目是为科学记者制定的，目的是增加和改进极地环境变化科学的报道。 它是仿照海洋生物实验室自1986年以来运行的现有科学新闻计划。 该项目将使30名科学记者前往北极，10名记者前往南极洲，在三年内以密集的、亲身体验的方式学习和体验极地研究。 该计划有3个组成部分：在阿拉斯加的图里克野外站为期一周的极地实践课程，记者在其中进行科学研究;为期一周的时间，记者将与极地研究科学家合作;以及记者前往南极洲的帕尔默站，花两周时间参加南极研究。记者将以极地科学博客的形式定期提交有关他们工作的稿件，并将制作有关他们经历的故事。

This project is being developed for science journalists to increase and improve the reporting of the science of polar environmental change. It is modeled after the existing science journalism program run by the Marine Biological Laboratory since 1986. This project will enable 30 science journalists to travel to the Arctic and ten journalists to Antarctica over three years to study and experience polar research in an intensive, hands-on manner. The program has 3 components: a week long Polar Hands-On course at the Toolik Field Station in Alaska in which the journalists conduct science; a one-week period in which journalists will be teamed to work with polar research scientists; and travel for journalists to travel to Palmer Station in Antarctica to spend two weeks participating in Antarctic research. Journalists will submit regular dispatches about their work in the form of a Polar Science Blog and will produce stories about their experience.
