MLML congratulates Invertebrate Zoology lab student Amanda Heidt! Amanda was selected as the 2018 KQED-CSUMB Fuhs Science Communication Fellow. The Fuhs Family Foundation has provided funding for a one year $10,000 scholarship and a paid summer internship in science communication at KQED Public Media in San Francisco. Amanda is splitting her time between researching and developing story lines for the Emmy-award winning short video series Deep Look as well as writing stories for KQED’s Science News team. She is excited to learn more about new ways to engage people with science across different media platforms.
