This may be my last post for a few days. Practicing Writing will most likely resume in the middle of next week, and all you wonderful Practicing Writer subscribers can look forward to receiving your January newsletters a day or two after that.
Just to pique your curiosity, I'll let you know that this next issue will feature an interview with a memoirist who has a particular interest in science writing. (If you aren't yet a subscriber, you still have time to sign up--as always, subscriptions are free and we keep your e-mail address confidential.)
To complement the interview--which touches on the writer's fellowship and internship experiences--I thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of opportunities that might be especially appealing to those who write (or want to write) about science, health, and/or medicine. If you're aware of similar programs (please note--I've focused here on programs that pay their participants), please share your knowledge in comments.
