The British Science Association Media Fellowships aim to bridge the communication gap between scientists and journalists and give space for a dialogue between the two. They reflect the British Science Association’s committment to increasing the accessibility of the sciences and providing opportunities for discussion and debate. The Media Fellowships aim to give scientists and their colleagues, the confidence and willingness to engage with the media and tackle issues of mistrust and misrepresentation and to give journalists access to new scientific expertise.
Hosts differ year on year depending on availability and location of the Fellow and host. This year media hosts include BBC Radio 4 Science Unit, BBC Countryfile and BBC News Online, The Times Higher Education, Financial Times, The Guardian, The Times and Nature News.

The deadline for applications is midnight on the 11th March.
