Logan Science Journalism Program

The Logan Science Journalism Program, founded in 1986, offers science journalists, writers, editors, and broadcast journalists a chance to forget about story deadlines and immerse themselves in basic biomedical or environmental research.

Course/Program Dates:
May 13, 2027 - May 23, 2027
Application due date:
Jan 18, 2027

The application will be live on December 1 for the Environmental Course. The Biomedical Course will not be held in 2027.

Get Your Hands On Research!

Journalists selected for the program dive into research training at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL)  in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, one of the most dynamic settings for scientific discovery in the world. Room, board, course fees, and travel are covered for accepted fellows.

The fellows choose between two introductory, intensive courses:

Environmental Hands-On Research Course Biomedical Hands-On Research Course

“This kind of [research] experience should be a requisite part of the career of any science journalist.”
