This project is being developed for science journalists to increase and improve the reporting of the science of polar environmental change. It is modeled after the existing science journalism program run by the Marine Biological Laboratory since 1986. This project will enable 30 science journalists to travel to the Arctic and ten journalists to Antarctica over three years to study and experience polar research in an intensive, hands-on manner. The program has 3 components: a week long Polar Hands-On course at the Toolik Field Station in Alaska in which the journalists conduct science; a one-week period in which journalists will be teamed to work with polar research scientists; and travel for journalists to travel to Palmer Station in Antarctica to spend two weeks participating in Antarctic research. Journalists will submit regular dispatches about their work in the form of a Polar Science Blog and will produce stories about their experience.

该项目是为科学记者开发的，旨在增加和改进极地环境变化的科学报道。 它以海洋生物实验室自 1986 年以来运行的现有科学新闻项目为蓝本。该项目将使 30 名科学记者能够在三年内前往北极，10 名记者前往南极洲，以深入、实际的方式学习和体验极地研究。方式上。 该计划由 3 个部分组成：在阿拉斯加 Toolik 野外站举办的为期一周的极地实践课程，记者们将在课程中进行科学研究；为期一周的时间，记者将与极地研究科学家合作；并为记者前往南极洲帕尔默站进行为期两周的南极研究。记者将以极地科学博客的形式定期提交有关他们工作的报道，并撰写有关他们经历的故事。
