Hello everyone,
Do you know a brilliant science communicator?
Nominations for the BA Award Lectures 2009 are now open. The 2009 BA Festival of Science will take place from the 5th-10th September 2009 in Surrey, hosted by the University of Surrey.
Each year the BA honours five outstanding young communicators with the opportunity to present a prestigious Award Lecture at the BA Festival of Science. The Award Lectures aim to promote open and informed discussion on issues involving science and actively encourage young scientists to explore the social aspects of their research, providing them with reward and recognition for doing so. The Lectures are a very popular component of the Festival programme with an extremely broad audience ranging from school groups and interested public to retired academics and scientists from a wide range of disciplines.
The closing date for nominations is Friday 27th February 2009.

Many thanks
