The scheme's impact extends beyond the summer placement. After their placements Fellows are better equipped to communicate their research and expertise to the public and their colleagues. Some go on to do freelancing as an add-on to their normal jobs, others incorporate science communication activities into their academic or professional work in science and engineering.

The Media Fellowships have been running since 1987 and reflect the British Science Association's commitment to work with the media to build understanding between science and society.
