The National Science Foundation-supported Evolving Meta-Ecosystems Institute (EVOME) will provide fellowships for six science journalists to participate in a two-week immersion in interdisciplinary evolutionary and global change biology being conducted at the University of Alaska’s Toolik Field Station in northern Alaska.

EVOME Journalism Fellowships offer a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with the scientists and experiments answering this critical question. The program will run June 14 to June 28, 2026. The first week will provide a hands-on exploration of key questions being asked at the intersection of evolutionary biology and Arctic ecology as part of the EVOME Institute. Then, fellows will team up with EVOME or Toolik-based research scientists, students, and postdocs, and work side-by-side with them in the field and laboratory.
