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

这个项目正在为科学记者开发，以增加和改进对极地环境变化科学的报道。它是模仿海洋生物实验室自1986年以来运行的现有科学新闻项目。这个项目将使30名科学记者能够在三年的时间里前往北极，10名记者能够前往南极洲，以一种密集的、亲身实践的方式研究和体验极地研究。该计划有三个组成部分：在阿拉斯加的Toolik野外站进行为期一周的极地实践课程，记者在其中进行科学研究；在为期一周的时间里，记者将与极地研究科学家合作；并让记者前往南极洲的帕尔默站，花两周时间参与南极研究。记者们将以极地科学博客的形式提交关于他们工作的定期报道，并将制作关于他们经历的故事。

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.
