Essay - Get involved in science journalism

Quick. Neil Baer, Joe Palca, and Joy Ku. What do we all have in common? Neil Baer was a producer and scriptwriter for the NBC series “ER.” Joe Palca is an award-winning science correspondent for National Public Radio (NPR). And in 2003, I completed my Ph.D. in electrical engineering at Stanford University. Still no idea? We’re all alumni of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Mass Media Science and Engineering Fellows Program.
