Are you interested in science writing? Want to put your media training skills into practice? We are giving SGM members the chance to get their work published in Microbiology Today. Each quarter we run Microshorts – that reports on recent, often quirky, scientific research through a series of short, non-specialist, news-style articles. We are looking for guest writers to write one or more articles each quarter.
If you think you can communicate scientific research in eight sentences or less, without getting too technical, get in touch!
