FRONTIERS - Science Journalism Residency Programme

@frontiersmedia.bsky.social

🌍 FRONTIERS is an ERC-funded initiative to design residencies for science journalists. 🔗 frontiers.media 🔬 #frontierscience #sciencejournalism #fellowships

🧠 Mitochondria may do far more than power our cells: they might also help brain cells communicate, support memory & shape behaviour. ⚡ FRONTIERS fellow Giorgia Guglielmi unpacks the science in The Transmitter, in a story sparked by her #FRONTIERSresidency at ISTA, a year ago. 🔗 bit.ly/4eO2X3w

How the brain’s power plants may also influence its function

Mitochondria are not just cellular powerhouses; they actively help synapses communicate, shape memory and even influence behavior.

A year ago, as a resident journo at @istaresearch.bsky.social through the @frontiersmedia.bsky.social program, a conversation on a computational theory led me somewhere unexpected. The story, now in @thetransmitter.bsky.social, is about how mitochondria may shape synapses, memory and even behavior 👇

🎙️ Episode 1 of Written in the Ocean, a new podcast by #FRONTIERSFellow Juan David Escorcia, is out! Step inside the Bremen Core Repository, at MARUM: 193 km of sediment cores telling Earth's climate story. 🎧 [YT] bit.ly/4gmjBIs [Spotify] bit.ly/4gmhdBq [Apple] bit.ly/43CwAOJ [RSS]: bit.ly/4eHgRnM

Let's celebrate #WorldOceanDay with a brand new podcast! 🎧 “Written in the Ocean” by journalist Juan David Escorcia, who was a fellow in the @frontiersmedia.bsky.social Residency Program and visiting MARUM in the last months. Find out more in the comments below ⏬

Thank you to everyone at @marumunibremen.bsky.social for hosting Juan David and making this residency possible. 🌊 After four months of exploring ocean and climate science, we look forward to Juan's next chapter! #sciencejournalism #frontierscience

After four months at MARUM as part of the @frontiersmedia.bsky.social Science Journalism Fellowship, funded by the European Research Council, Juan David Escorcia has completed his journalism residency in Bremen. Read more about is here ➡️ www.marum.de/en/Goodbye-J...

Great to see #FRONTIERSfellow Elise Cutts leading a workshop at the Complexity Science Hub on how scientists can communicate more intentionally on social media. She worked with researchers on how to approach social media writing with a clear understanding of audience and purpose.

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 - 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆? This question is key for scientists on social media, but far from simple. The fabulous @elisecutts.bsky.social, our current @frontiersmedia.bsky.social journalist in residence, ran a fantastic lunchtime workshop on exactly this. Huge thanks to you, Elise! #Scicomm

#FRONTIERSFellow Tim Kalvelage joined a Norwegian-German expedition to the North Pole last year. 🧊 Their goal: drill into the Arctic seabed to test whether these waters were ever ice-free, and when. Read his photo-led story for MIT Technology Review 📷https://bit.ly/4t5Yj4K

Digging for clues about the North Pole’s past

To understand what the future holds for Earth’s northernmost waters, scientists are burrowing deep below the seabed.

El martes que viene estaré en el #CGutenberg25 presentando las cositas que hacemos desde el @ccsupf.bsky.social en el proyecto @frontiersmedia.bsky.social ¿Nos vemos?

🌊 This February, researchers set out into the Greenland Sea aboard the Norwegian icebreaker RV Kronprins Haakon. As part of his #FRONTIERSResidency, Tim Kalvelage joined the expedition. 🔗 Read his latest article for @nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/d41... #AMOC #ClimateChange #Arctic

Is a monster web of ocean currents headed for collapse? The race is on to find out

Research ships rarely brave the Greenland Sea in winter. Early this year, scientists ventured into the ice-covered waters to capture crucial data about the planet’s future.

Is the #AMOC nearing collapse? In February, I joined researchers from @bjerknes.uib.no on the icebreaker Kronprins Haakon to the Greenland Sea. My text and images about their encounters during #Arctic winter and the future of the AMOC: www.nature.com/articles/d41... @frontiersmedia.bsky.social
