Apply to become a reporter at the Biologists @ 100 conference!
Posted by the Node, on 3 October 2024
Are you keen to get more science communication experience? Is your research related to developmental and stem cell biology? The Node is looking for a reporter to attend and report from the Biologists @ 100 conference, happening 24-27 March 2025 in Liverpool, UK. This conference is a celebration of the 100th birthday of The Company of Biologists, bringing together different communities, including cell, developmental, experimental and disease biologists, and will incorporate the Spring Meetings of the British Society for Cell Biology (BSCB) and the British Society for Developmental Biology (BSDB). Registration for the conference is open and the abstract deadline is 13 December.
The selected reporter will have their conference registration fee waived (but will have to cover their own transport and accommodation costs). They will be expected to attend the full conference. While the reporter will mainly focus on reporting from the ‘Cell and developmental biology’ scientific track, they are welcome to attend sessions from other tracks in the programme.
If you are interested, we’d love to read about your ideas of what you’d do as a reporter at the conference. If selected, we will work with you to develop your ideas and assist you at the conference.
If you have any questions about the role, don’t hesitate to email us at thenode@biologists.com.
To apply, please email the following to thenode@biologists.com:
- A proposal (max 200 words) with idea(s) of what you would do as a conference reporter. We are open to suggestions of different formats of reporting. Please include a rough output you expect to produce from the reporting, and explain how the content will appeal to the Node readers.
- A paragraph (max 200 words) telling us about yourself, your research, and any relevant science communication experiences you have.
Application deadline: Friday 29 November 2024
Our sister community site FocalPlane is also looking for a conference reporter. If you want to focus on reporting on cell biology and the use of microscopy in research, head over to their website to apply.
