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:Developing Effective Science Communication: Beginning | Six-Week Course
DESCRIPTION:“Science editors work with science writers to communicate specialist information to non-specialist audiences. They educate the public about the importance of scientific results\, convince funding agencies to support proposed projects\, and enlighten museum visitors about the meaning of new exhibits. \n“To succeed in the field of science communication\, science editors must ensure that writers do more than just lay out the facts. Science communication must also attract the reader’s attention\, hold that attention while conveying important information\, and deliver on promises to come to a satisfying conclusion. \n“In this six-week course\, we’ll look to the worlds of journalistic editing\, fiction editing\, and academic editing for essential tools to ensure that a piece of science writing works from beginning to end. Through weekly assignments\, you’ll put that advice into practice\, with plenty of instructor feedback and peer discussion to guide you.” \nThis course is taught by Kathryn Jepsen. There are a few coupons available: \n\nCoupon code KJ-BiZT9h026Y saves you $10\nCoupon code WELCOME10 gets you 10% off your first purchase\nIf you sign up for three or more EFA courses\, you can get 10% off with another coupon code\, DIYBUNDLE\n\nInterested in editing nonfiction books? EFA put together a bundle with two of Jepsen’s classes\, a few webinars related to book editing and a self-paced course on conscious language.

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism
DESCRIPTION:“The McGraw Fellowships\, an initiative of the Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY\, provide experienced journalists with a grant up to $15\,000 and the editorial support needed to produce deeply reported enterprise and investigative stories that delve into critical issues related to the global economy\, business or finance. Given the enormous changes in federal spending and policy priorities now taking place in Washington DC\, we are particularly interested in story proposals that examine the impact of these changes. Both freelance and staff journalists in all forms of media with at least five years’ professional experience are eligible. Journalists from diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply. \n“Previous McGraw Fellows have explored a wide variety of topics — and you don’t need to be a business reporter to apply. Many have been generalists\, or cover beats such as the environment\, health care\, education. Others focus on inequality or corporate accountability.” \nDeadlines: \n\nApril 13\, 2026 for the Spring 2026 fellowships\nOctober 12\, 2026 for the Fall 2026 fellowships
