Dear UKPN,
See below for a real cool opportunity for scientists to get involved in science media and journalism! For any questions, please contact Ellie Chambers <ellie.chambers@britishscienceassociation.org>.

Application are now open for the British Science Association's Media Fellowship scheme.
The Media Fellowships provide a unique opportunity for practising scientists, clinicians and engineers to spend two to six weeks working at the heart of a media outlet such as the Guardian, BBC Breakfast or the Londonist.
Fellows are mentored by professional journalists and, through their placement and attendance at the British Science Festival, learn how the media operates and reports on science, how to communicate with the media and through it to engage the wider public.
To apply for 2016's placements, please fill in the online application form by the 18th March at www.britishscienceassociation.org/media-fellows-applications
Please feel free to use the above text and forward to your colleagues and networks. We are keen to engage with as wide a variety of academics and industrial scientists as possible, so please help us spread the word.
Kind regards
Ellie
