SUMMARY:DEADLINE: Neal Peirce Foundation Journalism Travel Grants
DESCRIPTION:“We support journalists in covering under-told stories about ways to make cities and their metro regions work better for all their people. An ideal project for us to support is one where a journalist aims to inform a critical local debate by reporting on how a promising approach in another city is working. Our travel grants of up to $1\,500 enable journalists to travel to cities within the U.S. to produce one or more stories for publication. The awards\, selected through a competitive review process\, cover travel expenses necessary for on-the-ground reporting. We invite full-time freelancers as well as journalists currently employed by a news organization to apply.”

SUMMARY:Balancing Hope With Hurdles: How To Cover Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal
DESCRIPTION:“Solutions journalism is often rooted in optimism\, but how do you tell hopeful stories without glossing over formidable challenges? Marine carbon dioxide removal pushes this tension to the limit. Approaches like Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement are *geophysically* plausible at massive scale\, yet face massive scientific\, political\, and social hurdles that could prevent deployment. In this session\, two leading scientists — Dr. Jaime Palter and Dr. David Ho — will present their research on marine carbon dioxide removal\, and engage in moderated conversation and Q&A to support journalists interested in covering the topic. We’ll unpack how journalists can translate these highly technical concepts\, balance hope with hurdles\, and tell nuanced stories that help the public understand both the potential and the obstacles of ocean-based climate solutions. \n“This session is presented by the University of Rhode Island’s Metcalf Institute and the Solutions Journalism Network. \n“Jaime Palter is a Professor of Oceanography at URI’s Graduate School of Oceanography. For over twenty years\, she’s researched the role of ocean circulation in the climate system. Her recent research evaluates the potential for marine Carbon Dioxide Removal to play a role in climate change mitigation. Since coming to URI in 2015\, she has taught hundreds of undergraduates about the science of climate change and the suite of solutions that can help society chart a path to a safer future. \n“David Ho is a climate scientist and marine biogeochemist whose research focuses on air-sea gas exchange\, the ocean carbon cycle\, and marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). He is a Professor in the Department of Oceanography at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa\, a Visiting Faculty in the School of Ocean Futures at Arizona State University\, and a co-founder of [C]Worthy\, a non-profit research organization focused on developing open-source tools for monitoring\, reporting\, and verification (MRV) of mCDR.”

SUMMARY:CASW Connector Chat: How To Cover Ongoing Chaos in Science Funding
DESCRIPTION:Ongoing cuts and reinstatements to federal science funding\, along with related lawsuits\, have kept reporters hopping. At this Connector chat\, top reporters Stephanie Lee of The Chronicle of Higher Education and Katherine Wu of The Atlantic will discuss how they’re managing the deluge: how they track ongoing changes\, keep up with sources and select the stories they focus on. There are several online resources reporters can take advantage of\, including the database Grant Witness. Co-founder Scott Delaney\, of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health\, will also be on hand to discuss the genesis and continuation of that project. Bring your questions and your tips for resources for our live discussion. \nThis discussion will be recorded and posted on CASW’s YouTube channel. A crowdsourced tip sheet will also be shared with attendees after the webinar. \nRegister here. \nResources: \n\n“An NIH Grant Is Restored\, With a Catch: Cut a Study on Trans Youth\,” The Chronicle of Higher Education\, May 21\, 2025\, by Stephanie M.

SUMMARY:ASC Webinar: Attending to Invisible Wounds — Trauma-Informed Science Communication
DESCRIPTION:“In this workshop\, we’ll discuss key principles of trauma informed science communication. We’ll talk about how to recognize signs of trauma and differentiate it from stress. For example\, we’ll talk about strategies for relationship building to keep open communication pathways with your audience. We’ll also discuss how previous traumas influence learning. Participants will work in small groups to brainstorm how trauma can manifest in their science communication activities and strategies for managing it. We also discuss the role of power in educational settings\, how power dynamics can worsen trauma symptoms\, and how to use evidence-based strategies like codesign to minimize power dynamics. Participants will have a chance to brainstorm how to use codesign or other strategies to create more balanced power dynamics.” \nTime Zone: PDT \nLocation: Virtual \n

SUMMARY:Metcalf Institute: Equity on the Table — A Conversation about Public Health\, Food Access and Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:“Between soaring food prices and public health crises\, issues around health and food access are in the news almost daily. Engaging in these topics can be difficult as the issues continue to be fueled by both climate change and turbulent politics. Join Metcalf for “Equity on the Table: A Conversation about Public Health\, Food Access\, and Climate Change” on Thursday\, October 23\, to learn how you can help create a healthier and more equitable food future for yourself and your community. \n“This event will feature a panel discussion with three fellows from the SciComm Identities Project (SCIP): Dr. Ambarish Karmalkar\, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Rhode Island; Dr. Roger Figueroa\, Assistant Professor in Social and Behavioral Science in Nutrition in the Division of Nutritional Sciences\, College of Human Ecology at Cornell University; and Dr. Christine Ekenga\, a Rollins Assistant Professor of Environmental Health at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University. Moderated by Fara Warner\, Metcalf Institute’s Executive Director\, the conversation will focus on the intersection of climate change\, public health and food equity\, and will highlight the fellows’ research. \n“Launched by the Metcalf Institute\, Michigan State University’s Knight Center for Environmental Journalism\, and the URI Science and Story Lab\, the SCIP fellowship was a one-year professional development opportunity for pre-tenure faculty at U.S. institutions who identify as underrepresented racial or ethnic minorities in STEM. The project\, supported by a $2.8 million collaborative National Science Foundation grant and co-led by URI’s Dr. Sunshine Menezes and Michigan State’s Dr. Bruno Takahashi\, addressed the significant gap in science communication research and training by centering the motivations\, experiences\, and priorities of underrepresented scientists. The fellowship offered three cohorts that each focused on a specific subtheme: energy\, water\, and food. \n“This free event is open to the public and will take place at the University of Rhode Island’s Kingston campus (Hope Room\, Higgins Welcome Center). A reception will be held October 23 from 5 to 5:30 PM with the lecture beginning at 5:30 PM. The discussion will also be livestreamed. Registration is encouraged for in-person attendees and required to receive the livestream link.”
