The University of Georgia’s 2025 Presidential Graduate Fellowship (https://grad.uga.edu/scholarship-and-fellowship-awards/presidential-graduate-fellow-award/) – Sarah De Souza

2025 SciComm Identities Project Fellowship

Dr. Ruchika Kashyap has been named one of 14 Fellows of the SciComm Identities Project for 2025. Run by the University of Rhode Island’s Metcalf Institute, Michigan State University’s Knight Center for Environmental Journalism, and the URI Science and Story Lab, SciComm is an innovative science communication fellowship for pre-tenure faculty of color. The 2025 Fellowship will focus on the intersection of climate change and food-related issues, including food insecurity, agriculture, and aquaculture. While Fellows bring a diverse range of cultural and disciplinary backgrounds, they all share a strong history of personal commitment to science communication and inclusive community engagement. The Fellows bring a range of experiences that can strengthen their science communication practices, such as being immigrants, first-generation Americans, and/or the first in their family to attend college.
