Help put science at the heart of great television. Science Media Studentships for biomedical scientists: final call for applications Our Wellcome Trust Science Media Studentships support practising biomedical scientists looking to explore a career in science broadcasting. We offer funding for a place on the Science Media Production postgraduate course at Imperial College London (http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/humanities/sciencecommunicationgroup/masters/mscinscinecemediaproduction), followed by a six-month placement working in the broadcast industry. The scheme is in the final call stages and the deadline for applications is 24 February 2012. Our research shows that the overwhelming majority of the public regard television as their most significant source of information about science. We believe that the broadcast media should represent and reflect all areas of science and culture; therefore, it should be produced by people from a variety of different backgrounds. We aim to increase the crossover between science and the media and to enable bright, articulate and motivated scientists to explore a career in the broadcast industry. For full eligibility details and how to apply, please visit our website (http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/Funding/Public-engagement/Funding-schemes/science-media-studentships/index.htm).
