Hello All,
I am about to launch my recruitment drive for a project I run called 'The Science Date'.
I am looking for scientists in business/industry/academia/research to take part in the event which will be held in March 2011.
The scientist would have to develop a short story (which would last around 15-20 mins) about their career and education in science and what excites them about it! They would then tell this story to Year 9 school pupils in an intimate theatre environment. (there is NO 'performance' involved!)
This project is based in South Wales and will take place in Cardiff, so scientists need to be reasonably local.
We are happy to cover travel costs and will provide catering at all meetings/events (maximum of 3 meetings and one day long event).
If anyone is interested in finding out more or could pass this on to colleagues I would be very grateful!
Many thanks, Laura Roberts

Subject: [PSCI-COM] scientists talking on camera?
Hi all
Can anyone quickly point me to the best online collection of scientists/researchers talking to camera with short films about their work? It is for a short critiquing exercise on what methods are best to engage on camera (for a load of scientists)/ We want people who aren't too slick - so not the TV presenter end of the spectrum (eg Brian Cox and Jim Al-Khalili) but more your average lecturer or researcher having a stab at it!
I had a feeling there was something called SciVid which was a collection of this but a quick google search hasn't found me the link. Ideally downloadable so I can show them offline (if copyright allows)
Thanks all!
Wendy

Great idea - we'll work on putting a video archive up on the Science in Society section of the British Science Association website.
Will post a link to it! Any more links are more than welcome - would be very helpful to get these together as a resource.

My first reaction is that they are very good lectures, but I can see what
he means. The problem is that I expect that you are videoing lecturers who
will probably perform a lot better to an audience than a camera.
Part of the problem I think is that you have picked a shot which looks
like TV so you expect the lecturer to be doing it straight to camera and
when they don't it feels all wrong. You almost want a bit of the audience
in some of the shots, so it makes sense. Possibly a funkier angle than
just a camera at the back of the room, as in a lecture theatre that size
it looks wrong. Have a play see what works. Though I am not a video person
so I am probably wrong.
good luck
Dave

Thanks Nicky, was just going to reply and suggest our films on the Wellcome
Trust channel but you've already done it for me!
Would be great if anyone does have time to put these all into one big
resource. I wonder if it's possible to create a playlist of all the ones on
YouTube and then embed that somewhere?
Best wishes,
Martha

Hi All,
I know it's not quite as useful as doing a YouTube playlist - I've stuck all the links so far in a page on the social media scicomms wiki which you can find here: http://scicomms.wikidot.com/science-pe-videos
Please let me know (off list) what you think of the wiki - we're looking to take this project forward to make it a really useful resource so any comments are welcome! Also, if you have any social media/scicomms articles that you would like to contribute or you would like to collaborate on the project, please let me know!
It's basically to provide a resource about social media for the science communication/PE community (a treasure-trove of useful webby stuff if you will...) and any advice/help would be more than welcome in order to help it get off the ground! (Shameless plug ends)
Many thanks,
Toby Shannon

From: Stephen McGann <[log in to unmask]>
Subject: Re: popular science talks on YouTube / iTunesU etc: best done to camera or by recording a lecture with audience?
Hello Tristram,
As a science communication student with a broadcasting background, I thought I'd like to add to the interesting comments you'd already received on the lectures you linked to.
Firstly, I'd suggest that the choice between 'to camera' or 'lecture format' is more nuanced than a straight 'either-or'. As a viewer of your (excellent!) posted lectures, I noticed that - though it was clearly lecture style - we never saw the audience. Never needed to establish the geography of the room. The speakers spoke quite directly to camera and slides appeared seamlessly, so it was quite an 'immersive' experience to watch. Not pure television perhaps, but certainly involving. Other lecture videos I've watched have set the cameras as more observers of the event itself - of the interplay between audience and speaker. This is great for an experience of an event, but can detract from the content. I found your posted talks to be an excellent compromise. In television many broadcasts and interviews are filmed in front of an audience, yet the speakers perform only with their ultimate viewer in mind. The audience is often relegated to little more than a provider of aural atmosphere. In your videos the speakers referenced the audience at all times, yet managed also to hold my attention. It's a tricky balancing act!
Similarly, there is more than one way to deliver 'to-camera'. One can be alone in a studio - on location - in the lab - sitting in a book-filled study. The absence of an audience still leaves crucial stylistic decisions for the director/editor. The tone of the piece - whether to-camera or lecture style - will depend crucially on the audience and their expectations.
Which brings me back to your posted videos. The logo of your institution is very clear in the talks - behind the heads of the speakers, and in the titling. As a viewer, we're getting more of a message than just the content of the talks. Oxford is performing here, not simply the speaker. Therefore your lecture style makes sense, in that it confirms certain expectations (preconceptions?) that the viewer has about the way the institution does things. The trick is to fulfill this message, whilst delivering content which is engaging, accessible and connective. I think you do this extremely well.
Regards,
Stephen McGann

Hi All,
I know it's not quite as useful as doing a YouTube playlist - I've stuck
all the links so far in a page on the social media scicomms wiki which
you can find here: http://scicomms.wikidot.com/science-pe-videos
Please let me know (off list) what you think of the wiki - we're looking
to take this project forward to make it a really useful resource so any
comments are welcome! Also, if you have any social media/scicomms
articles that you would like to contribute or you would like to
collaborate on the project, please let me know!
It's basically to provide a resource about social media for the science
communication/PE community (a treasure-trove of useful webby stuff if
you will...) and any advice/help would be more than welcome in order to
help it get off the ground! (Shameless plug ends)
Many thanks,

From: Ellen Ingber <[log in to unmask]>
Subject: CFA: Encyclopedia of Energy
We are inviting academic editorial contributors to a new reference work on
the role of energy in society to be published by Salem Press in 2012. This
comprehensive encyclopedia will be marketed and sold to high-school,
college, public, and academic libraries and includes 4 volumes of
approximately 600 articles.
From Alaska to China to Brazil and around the world, energy is the fuel of
modern civilization. The United States alone, which constitutes 5 percent
of the world’s population, consumes 24 percent of the world’s energy.
Tracing the routes and roots of energy through history, especially since
the Industrial Revolution, and explaining the current levels of energy use
and production across the globe, this 4-volume encyclopedia will be the
definitive reference to essential energy and power information. From “clean
coal” to oil to wind power, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, the Encyclopedia
of Energy is a world round up of energy-related curricular disciplines,
including: history, sociology, environmentalism, public policy, science,
engineering, and business. Especially targeted toward high-school students,
this outstanding reference work is edited to tie into the high-school
curriculum, making the content readily accessible as well to patrons of
public, academic, and university libraries. Pedagogical elements include a
Topic Finder, Chronology, Resource Guide, Glossary, Appendix, and thorough
index. Presented in 4 volumes in an A-to-Z format, the Encyclopedia of
Energy is richly illustrated with photos, charts, and tables, all
comprising an unprecedented and unique resource.
We are now making article assignments with a deadline of January 3, 2011.
Each article ranges from 600 to 3500 words and is signed by the
contributor. The General Editor for the encyclopedia is Dr. Morris A.
Pierce, University of Rochester, who will review all the articles for
editorial content and academic consistency.
If you are interested in contributing to the Encyclopedia of Energy, it
can be a notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your
publishing credits. Moreover, you can help ensure that accurate information
and important points of view are credibly presented to students and library
patrons. Compensation is an honorarium payment of $25 up to 1000 words; $35
from 1001 to 2500 words; and $45 above 2501 words.
The list of available articles, style guidelines, and sample articles are
prepared and will be sent to you in response to your inquiry. Please then
select which unassigned articles may best suit your interests and
expertise.
If you would like to contribute to building a truly outstanding reference
with the Encyclopedia of Energy, please contact me by the e-mail
information below. Please provide a brief summary of your
academic/publishing credentials in energy-related curricular disciplines
including: history, sociology, environmentalism, public policy, science,
engineering, and business.
Thanks for your time and interest.

Practical guides
Published: Practical guide on how to report clinical trials
Dear Colleague,
We recently launched our latest practical guide: Progress or PR? How
to report on clinical trials
Most science journalists will encounter the "breakthrough" disease
treatment or a "promising" drug trial, and will be asked to write a
story on the research underpinning those claims.
But how do you identify a well-performed trial, or uncover the dangers
of exploitation which happens all too frequently, especially when
trials are performed in developing countries?
Our practical guide helps you to answer those questions.
Read SciDev.Net’s practical guide: Progress or PR? How to report on
clinical trials
This guide provides you with information on phases of clinical trials
and their setup. You will find a checklist to help you prepare your
article, as well as useful tips on how to assess academic papers and
statistics.
About our practical guides
SciDev.Net’s practical guides provide information and advice on how
to tackle different aspects of science reporting for journalists or
anyone involved in communicating science and technology. They either
cover topics specific to developing countries or give advice on how to
strengthen science communication. You can find previous guides
published on SciDev.Net here.
We look forward to reading your comments on any of our practical
guides. You can post a comment at the bottom of any article or email

challenge poor practice when you're reporting on the conduct and
outcomes of a clinical trial.
