Subject: report on science and the media
This might be of interest to Psi-commers - a report called "Science
and the Media" written by US academics / science writers "examines the
journalist’s role in furthering Americans’ understanding of science,
the evolving scientist-journalist relationship, and how digital media
is transforming the way science news is covered—and consumed."
And ideas for "revitalizing" the whole endeavour.

Subject: manifesto for the simple scribe
In the run-up to our event at Imperial this evening, the Guardian have
published Tim Radford's legendary 'manifesto for the simple scribe'. If
you've never seen this document, it's a list of tips for science
communication which has been passed around UK science writers for years.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/blog/2011/jan/19/manifesto-simple-scribe-commandments-journalists
Ian Sample asked a good question on twitter - Was written last century. What
would you change? I'm thinking through my own answers, and'll add to the
comments there later. I thought this list my have a few...
Hope to see some of you at Radford's talk this evening, For those who can't
make it, there will be a recording. We'll let everyone know when it's
available.
Alice

I used to have a copy of that which I lost years ago - so thanks for
sharing.
I actually have a post it note on my monitor that says "remember, nobody
has to read this crap". Possibly the best advice I've ever had.

Subject: Re: Public Attitudes Survey Blog Post
I liked Roland's point about "culture" bids that "have no requirement for a science-based cultural programme".
Is there going to be any scientific activity among the "cultural" activities associated with the Olympic Games?
Looks like something that the British Science Association might like to float.
After all, there is plenty of talk of science and sport.

I liked Roland's point about "culture" bids that "have no requirement
for a science-based cultural programme".
Is there going to be any scientific activity among the "cultural"
activities associated with the Olympic Games?
Looks like something that the British Science Association might like to
float.
After all, there is plenty of talk of science and sport.

Subject: Event Awards: National Science & Engineering Week
Hi,
Just a reminder about the National Science & Engineering Week Event Awards 2011 - a chance to get your event recognised as one of the best taking place during NSEW. Self-nominations will remain open until 4th February. Don't forget... if you are planning an event for the Week, please register it on the online programme - www.nsew.org.uk<http://www.nsew.org.uk>.
Thanks
Dan
NSEW Event Awards 2011:
The National Science & Engineering Week Event Awards 2011 are now open for self-nomination.
Supported by EngineeringUK, these awards have been set-up to recognise originality and quality in the events that take place during NSEW. To apply for an event award your nomination must be received by February 4th 2011. All events are welcome for nomination under the following 5 categories:
- Best Science Event
- Best Engineering Event
- Best Primary School Event
- Best Secondary School Event
- Outstanding Contribution Award.
Winning events promote their topics in innovative and engaging ways with appropriate evaluation. They might be in an unusual location, be a school-wide cross curricular celebration or engage different multiple audiences within one community.
NSEW Event Award events also provide excellent case-studies for anyone who is planning their own celebration during NSEW, these can be downloaded from the website.
Outstanding Contribution Award:
The NSEW Outstanding Contribution Award is to individual organisers, or organisations, who have been organising events for NSEW for a number of years, even since the days when NSEW was known as SET7!
NSEW would not be the growing success that it is without our long-standing organisers and we would like to recognise the dedication and effort of key individuals and organisations who have made this possible.
Cash Prizes
The cash prizes to winning and runner-up organisations are as follows:
Event Award Winners: £600
Event Award Runners-up: £200
Outstanding Contribution Award Winner: £800 (no runner up prize in this category).
These prizes will be intended to fund similar science and engineering activities in the future.
For full details and nomination forms visit www.britishscienceassociation.org/nsewawards<http://www.britishscienceassociation.org/nsewawards>

Subject: CALL FOR AUTHORS: Encyclopedia of Energy - New Deadline
Greetings,
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 windpower, 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 new author article assignments with a deadline of March
15, 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 article 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 background in energy and
social topics. Thanks for your time and interest.

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 windpower, 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.
