SUMMARY:CIJ Webinar Series: Investigating the Climate Crisis With Results
DESCRIPTION:“This 3-series webinar brings to the fore specific areas needed for journalists and researchers to move from typical reporting of environmental and climate events to investigations that drive impact. \n“Over the last four years\, we’ve learned a lot about how journalism can get results in pushing for climate progress and addressing injustice. Through the Open Climate Reporting Initiative (OCRI) we’ve empowered hundreds of frontline reporters in 58 countries with cutting edge skills for investigative research and compelling stories. \n“Join us to hear more from carefully selected expert speakers who will share their knowledge in biodiversity and ocean reporting\, essential preparation for covering COP\, and methods to connect security\, conflict & climate solutions. This webinar series builds on our January webinar From Skills to Shifts: How Climate Investigations Get Results and you’ll gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to interrogate certain thematic areas towards enabling accountability and action while staying ahead in the discourse.” \n\nSept. 10\, 2026: Focus on Biodiversity & Ocean reporting\nOct. 1\, 2026: Preparing for COP31\nNov. 5\, 2026: Connecting Security\, Conflict & Climate Solutions

SUMMARY:Science Writing I: Online Class at UCLA Extension
DESCRIPTION:“Science writing tells true stories about scientists and research to a variety of audiences. Learn what it takes to translate scientific concepts and discoveries into prose that readers can understand — and enjoy! This course emphasizes science newswriting as a foundational\, gateway skill to other types of science writing. You’ll practice writing science explainers and news articles according to standard structures and come to understand the job of “science writer” through in-class exercises and discussions\, guest speakers\, reading\, and homework. You’ll learn about different career options: freelance or staff\, journalism or institutional communications\, full time or on the side. By the end of the course\, you’ll have 1–3 story ideas\, 3 polished writing samples\, a pitch you can send to a publication\, and a plan for your own next steps in science writing. Note: Technical writing\, scientific manuscript writing\, and science fiction are not part of this course.” \n\nInstructor: Amber Dance\nWhere: Live online\nWhen: Tuesdays\, 6-9 p.m. PT\nFee: $820

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: The Berlin Prize
DESCRIPTION:“The American Academy in Berlin is an independent\, nonprofit institute for advanced study in the arts\, humanities\, social sciences\, law\, journalism\, and public policy. Its primary mission is to strengthen the cultural and intellectual ties between the United States and Germany. Each year\, following a rigorous selection process\, the Academy awards roughly two dozen semester-long fellowships to individuals who demonstrate excellence in their respective fields. The Berlin Prize is a residential fellowship and recipients are expected to be in residence at the American Academy for the semester. \n“The Academy welcomes applications from a broad range of disciplines in the humanities\, social sciences\, law\, journalism\, and various areas of public policy. We also generally encourage projects that address pressing issues of the day\, such as democracy\, security\, technology and society (especially AI)\, energy (including climate)\, and global order. Dedicated fellowships are also available to support projects in Jewish studies\, German studies\, and public health and biotechnology. While project proposals need not focus on topics related to Germany\, candidates should explain how a residency in Berlin would enhance their work. \n“Berlin Prize Fellows receive monthly stipends of $5000\, roundtrip airfare\, accommodation at or near the Hans Arnhold Center\, partial board\, and access to in-house library services and professional networking opportunities.”
