\u201cThe only way most science, no matter how groundbreaking or important, is going to reach the public beyond the scientific community is through the media, so it\u2019s vital that members of the media be able to cover it accurately and with understanding and nuance. This workshop gave me as a reporter the tools to achieve that accuracy, understanding, and nuance; as many science and climate journalists as possible should have access to this same training.\u201d <\/blockquote>2022 AWJ Fellow<\/cite><\/div><\/section>Career Development Program Summer Intensive<\/a><\/strong>
