The Society of Biology have announced details of their Science Communication Awards 2012.

The Awards are aimed to reward high quality public engagement work conducted by researchers helping to inform, enthuse and engage the public (including school groups, patients and any non-scientific audiences). The judges will be looking for all types of engagement activities (from talks to hands-on demonstrations) with added weight to projects that work with deprived communities.

There are two award categories:

New Researcher Prize: £750 (aimed at Masters/PhD students or first year post-docs)

Established Researcher Prize: £1500 (aimed early career researchers).

Nominations close on 1st August 2012 with the Awards presented at a ceremony in London on 16 October 2012.
