We would like to hear from you if you are:

			an early to mid-stage career researcher
			a lecturer in science, mathematics, engineering, medicine and medical subjects, including specialist science teachers with a science degree
			a researcher using existing research or meta-studies
			working on applying science, technology, mathematics, medicine, medical sciences such as patenting, statistics, computer technology, industry consultation etc
			applying science, mathematics, engineering, medicine, medical sciences in the armed forces, government bodies, industry or business

Unfortunately we can’t accept you if you are:

			a press or PR officer, even for science-related organisations
			an artist who works on science-related themes
			a performer whose shows are about science or engineering
			science museum/centre staff working exclusively or mainly with the public
			a journalists or broadcasters (if this is your main job)
