This June we’re trying something different*; we’re handing over the eyes and ears of our 10,000 strong Twitter following to some favourite faces of I’m a Scientist Alumni.

For a couple of hours each day next week (9th–13th June), a past scientist or teacher will take over the @imascientist account, to tell our newbies what to expect, beguile us with 140 character anecdotes from their time in the zones, and perhaps even share some hints and tips for the upcoming two weeks of event.

We’ll announce the scientists and teachers taking the helm, the reins, the front seat, and just about any other driving metaphor you can think of, later this week; watch this space!

Takeover tweets will be marked #IASTO

Everything the light touches…

*Something fun and totally not related to our Twitterer-in-Chief’s decision to spend maybe our busiest month of the year serving her country on some jury somewhere.
