Voice of the Future - event for young scientists

The Society of Biology is organizing Voice of the Future 2012. This event gives Young Scientists (between the ages of 16 and 35) the opportunity to put their questions to Members of the House of Commons Select Committee on Science & Technology and we have places. As sponsors of the event SfAM have the opportunity to send up to six younger members to this event. So if you’re between 16 and 35, a member of SfAM and are interested in going send us your questions to: communications@sfam.org.uk or post on facebook or tweet us @sfamtweets.

 

 

Our media policy

This is the era of applied microbiology with stories every day in the media about avian flu, MRSA, C. difficile and MMR to name just a few. A measure of the respect that SfAM's Communication team has gained is that journalists contact us for background briefing and explanation as well as the names of microbiologists they can contact.

We will:

always do our best to provide facts, information and explanation

if speculation is required, explain the rationale behind that speculation

desist from hyping a story - whether it is the journalist or the scientist doing the hyping
