Get school students excited about chemistry this March and apply for I'm a Scientist, Get me out of here!
I'm a Scientist is an online activity where all kinds of researchers talk to school students from across the UK at imascientist.org.uk
Chemists are needed for the RSC-funded Climate Change Zone and eight other zones, running between 7th–18th March, and researchers from across CCfCS are invited to apply!
By taking part you get to develop your communication skills, gain a fresh perspective on your research, and find out what young people think about science and the role of scientists. You'll also show the students that scientists are real people they can talk to.
In the event you get to answer online questions sent to you from students and engage directly with classes in live text based chats, alongside four fellow scientists. Students then vote for their favourite researcher, who wins £500 to fund more public engagement.
Everything happens online so it's easy for you to be involved, whether from your laptop in the lab, from your phone on the train, or from anywhere in between.
Apply to take part by Sunday 24th January (this Sunday), and read more, at imascientist.org.uk/scientist-apply.
For an insight into what's involved, read what chemist Ross King of the University of Bristol thought about his experience here.
If you have any questions at all, contact antony@gallomanor.com or call 01225 326 892.
