The STFC are sponsoring the Electromagnetic Zone, for any scientists funded by the STFC or using any of their facilities.

Before you apply, take a look at our advice on filling out the registration form, including writing the all important one sentence description of your work.

We ask teachers and students to rate the one sentence summaries and use this to select the 5 scientists to take part in the Electromagnetic Zone. We’ll select the scientists to take part and let you know at the start of February.

1. The 13/14 year old students are from all across the ability range, and prefer it if you use language they understand: deadly not pathogenic, find not identify, use not utilize.
2. Use imaginative language to describe your work, to grab the students’ attention by giving a real sense of what your work involves.
3. Show your one sentence desciption to someone else - not a scientist working in your field!

Apply here if you are interested in taking part in I’m a Scientist from 12th-23rd March 2012 or in June 2012.
