Mass Media Fellowship

Each year, AGU sponsors one university student in the AAAS Mass Media Fellowship program, which provides a 10-week summer internship at a newspaper, magazine, broadcast or cable news department, or web site.


Dione Rossiter - 2011 Mass Media Fellow

Dione Rossiter is a Ph.D. student at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Department. An atmospheric scientist, her thesis work involves investigating the microphysics of marine clouds. Dione did her Mass Media Fellowship as a radio reporter in the summer of 2011 on the science desk at Voice of America in Washington D.C. Dione also put her passion for communicating science to work between her undergraduate and graduate studies when she spent two years teaching and writing science curricula at the Lawrence Hall of Science – a public science center at University of California, Berkeley. She hopes to build a career in science communication once she finishes at UCSC in Spring, 2012. Dione received her undergraduate degree in Earth and Planetary Science with a focus in atmospheric science at UC Berkeley, spending several summers doing research at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado.
