List - I do not know how many science journalists lurk on HASTRO-L, but this opportunity also extends to professional photographers who cover astronomy for publications, as well as to international journalists. Please feel free to pass it along also to any science/engineering journalist colleagues: Applications are now open for a brand new fellowship opportunity: a Science/Engineering Journalism Boot Camp called "Computational Astronomy: From Planets to Cosmos" to be held June 24-27, 2012. Offered by the University of California High-Performance AstroComputing Center (UC-HiPACC), the boot camp will be an intensive and stimulating immersion backgrounder for a select group of 12 to 16 practicing science or engineering journalists from all media—print, online, broadcast, social media, and film—whether on staff or freelance. We hope that this boot camp will become a much sought-after annual opportunity. Two full days of sessions on the beautiful
redwood-forested campus of the University of California, Santa Cruz, will focus on today’s pioneering investigations in planetary science, stellar astronomy, explosive and high energy astrophysics, dark matter and dark energy, and cosmology. Each session will consist of an in-depth overview of current key research and pioneering techniques, led by a dozen top astrophysics faculty from across the University of California system and from affiliated Department of Energy national laboratories. A third day will feature a behind-the-scenes field trip to two leaders in astrocomputing and visualization: NASA Ames Research Center and the California Academy of Sciences. Expenses for the boot camp for all participating journalists will be underwritten by UC-HiPACC. In addition to the program and field trip, participants will receive housing for four nights (the nights of Sunday, June 24 through Wednesday, June 27), local transportation, most meals, and
reimbursement of up to US $800.00 for long-distance travel. All application materials are due at UC-HiPACC the end of this month: Friday, March 30. Journalists selected will be announced in April. Details, including confirmed faculty, instructions, and a link to the application form appear at http://hipacc.ucsc.edu/2012CAJBC.html . More about UC-HiPACC itself appears at http://hipacc.ucsc.edu . Any questions can be directed to me. Thanks for your consideration! Trudy E.
