Adriana Salerno has been awarded the 2007 Mass Media Fellowship by the American Mathematical Society (AMS). Adriana is a Ph.D. student in mathematics. She will be working at Voice of America for ten weeks over the summer under the sponsorship of the AMS.

The Mass Media Fellowship program is organized by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and is intended to strengthen the connections between science and the media, to improve public understanding of science, and to sharpen the ability of the fellows to communicate complex scientific issues to non-specialists. The program is available to college or university students (in their senior year, or in any graduate or post graduate level) in the natural, physical, health, engineering, computer, or social sciences or mathematics with outstanding written and oral communication skills and a strong interest in learning about the media. It is a highly competitive program and the AMS wishes to congratulate Adriana Salerno on her accomplishment.

The program is in its 33rd year and has supported more than 500 fellows.
