Greetings Earth and Space Scientists,

The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) is recruiting for our fall cohort of the Science Communication Fellowship program (also see attached flyer), and we have scholarships available for professionals (including researchers, practitioners, students, etc) with NASA affiliations, as well as scholarships for anyone in the field of Earth and/or Space Science.  We would love your help spreading the word about this upcoming cohort- especially to any earth or space science students, faculty, staff, or NASA employees that may be interested in the scholarships.

OMSI’s Science Communication Fellowship prepares STEM professionals to effectively communicate with the public about their work through a series of engaging, interactive professional development workshops.  Fellows also develop a unique, hands-on demonstration about their work that they can share with the public at bimonthly “Meet a Scientist” events at the museum.
