Looking for fresh, young researchers with a story to tell - Fresh Science 2015

posted 26 May 2015 | Staff Announcement - (staff)

Murdoch University is a sponsor of Fresh Science 2015. We’re looking for the best and brightest early-career researchers who have made a peer-reviewed discovery and received little or no media attention.

Fresh Science is a national competition that selects researchers with research results, an invention, or a discovery and trains them in how to tell their story as well as help share their findings with the media and the public.

We’re looking for:

  • early-career researchers (from honours students to no more than five years’ post-PhD)
  • a peer-reviewed discovery that has had little or no media coverage
  • some ability to present ideas in everyday English.

Nominations are now open, and close 25 June. Fresh Science WA will run either 19 or 20 August (TBC) with a training day at the WA Museum and pub event at a city bar.

Please circulate this information to anyone who you think would fit the criteria.
