The Graduate School is seeking submissions for our first Science Writing Competition, open to all current research students within the College. This is an excellent opportunity for students to flex their writing muscles, and see their articles printed and distributed in and around the University.
Do you have a passion for bringing science to the general public? Do you have a talent for getting people excited about your research? Are you looking for a chance to showcase your writing skills?
The College of Science and Engineering Graduate School is seeking submissions for our Science Writing Competition, open to all current research students within the College. This is an excellent opportunity for students to flex their writing muscles, and see their articles printed and distributed in and around the University.
The College is looking for articles written in the style of a popular science article, with the aim of publicising some of the research work being undertaken within the University. The article should focus on a topic within your area of research, though not necessarily on your specific project, and should make sense as a standalone piece.
The winner will receive £250 and see their article published in The GIST (the-gist.org), Glasgow’s largest science magazine.
The competition will be open until 6 June 2016, after which the submissions will be reviewed by our panel of experts:
- Professor Muffy Calder (TBC)
- Professor Susan Waldron, Dean of Graduate Studies
- Dr Jamie Gallagher, Public Engagement Officer (Research Strategy and Innovation Office)
- The GIST Editor
- Dr Alfredo Carpineti, IFL Science
Full terms and conditions can be found at the below link. Please contact scieng-gradschool@glasgow.ac.uk with any queries relating to the competition.
