Fresh Science
Fresh Science is a national competition helping early-career researchers find, and then share, their stories of discovery.
The program takes up-and-coming researchers with no media experience and turns them into spokespeople for science, giving them a taste of life in the limelight, with a day of media training and a public event in their home state.
We run Fresh Science in every state where we secure operational funding.
Fresh Science 2020.
We are considering how and when to run Fresh Science this year. Nominations usually open around July, close in September and training and public events are held in October/November.
Fresh Science is produced and run by Science in Public. Stay up to date through our news bulletin for the science sector or follow us on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn.
Want to support the next generation of scientists and empower them to communicate about their research? Please get in touch! Sarah Brooker or Niall Byrne.
