Enter the EuroStemCell non-fiction writing competition!

Spring has sprung! The sun is out at last (sort of), but that’s not the only great news we’ve got from EuroStemCell: we’ve launched our first ever stem cell non-fiction writing competition.

This is your chance tell a stem cell story with your imaginative science writing, by creating a comic or by writing a poem. And you could win 300 Euros and see your work live on eurostemcell.org.

Judges for the competition include CellStemCell Editor Debbie Sweet and well-known science fiction author Ken McLeod, amongst others.

Go on, give it a go! Full details at http://www.eurostemcell.org/stem-cell-competition
