Would you like to see your article about a scientific topic published in a full
colour glossy magazine distributed across Glasgow? Would you like that article
to also be shared with 7 billion people through the world wide web? Then
you're in luck, because the GIST (Glasgow Insight into Science and Technology)
are looking for submissions for issue two of their magazine!

We are looking for articles of either 700 or 1300 words (give or take 30 or
so) on ANY scientific topic you are interested in. This could be an insight
into your field of research/study or simply about a scientific topic you have
chosen for yourself. We're looking for articles on: new developments in
science, technology or engineering from around the world; Stories based around
research in Glasgow or Scotland or novel approaches to old research. Above
all the articles should be engaging for readers with an undergraduate-level
science background.

Our last issue featured (amongst other things):
- The science of the zombie apocalypse
- Should Wolves be Reintroduced to the highlands?
- Cubesat satellites - the future of satellite systems
- Gay sex - should it be taught in sex ed classes?

You can find an online copy of the first issue here: http://the-
gist.org/2012/05/the-gist-issue-1/ and you can view the website here: www.the-
gist.org

The complete guide to submitting is given below:

- The body of the article should be either 700+/-30 or 1300+/-30 words in
length.
- You do not need to worry about the formatting
- Your article should begin with a brief (~30 words) by-line e.g. Tony
Student investigates the noble history of monkeys in space.
- You should include a brief one or two sentence bio along with your article.
E.g. Tony Student is currently undertaking a PhD in Procrastination at the
University of Strathclyde and has a special interest in online time-wasting.
