Each summer, the American Association for the Advancement of Science places science, engineering, and math students in media jobs. One recent fellow, Anna Haensch, writes about the differences between science and journalism: "What I thought would be a summer spent in leisurely scientific inquiry turned out to be spent in inquiry of a more metaphysical nature. This was indeed an enriching pursuit, but not in the way that I had initially thought."
