Regeneron Science Talent Search is looking for science writers The Regeneron Science Talent Search (STS) is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious science and math competition for high school seniors.   Each year, the Society for Science names 40 Regeneron STS finalists who will come to Washington, DC to compete for a top award of $250,000. The competition, now in its 84th year, has consistently identified young innovators who combine their STEM talent with dedication and leadership skills to drive society forward. Program alumni include recipients of the world’s most coveted science and math honors, including 13 Nobel Prizes and 21 MacArthur Foundation Fellowships, as well as the founders of many important science-based companies, including Regeneron.  The Society is currently looking for science writers to review the finalists’ scientific research as well as their applications and then draft short bios that the Society will use for our media outreach and on our printed and online materials. In the attached RFP, we have outlined what the Society is looking for, in terms of a timeline as well as an end product.   For more info, reach out to sci...@societyforscience.org. Apply for a science journalism in residency program FRONTIERS, a science journalism initiative funded by the European Research Council (ERC), has launched its second call for applications for a residency program for journalists wishing to experience an immersive period of three to five months in research institutions like the Complexity Science Hub, located in the most liveable city in the world!  We invite science journalists from all over the world to apply for a residency at the Complexity Science Hub through the program. The deadline for applications is September 25. The Complexity Science Hub is a host institution for the FRONTIERS program, and welcomes science journalists interested in exploring new areas of research, and understanding how complexity arises and evolves in nature, society, and technology.  Detailed information about the application process can be found in the FRONTIERS Program Guide. Our program's page provides more information about Complexity Science Hub's research and hosting conditions.
