Science Writing I teach MBL's Hands-On Science Journalism Program, a unique fellowship program that provides working science journalists with experience doing science. In 2008 this program will focus on the issue of polar environmental change and will be taught at Toolik Field Station on the North Slope of Alaska, where MBL leads the
Arctic Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Program. The Science Journalism Program has also brought journalists to the Palmer Station LTER in Antarctica.
