Submit to 10 days of science

Love blogging? Keen on photography or video? Good at writing? Addicted to twitter? Then jump on board because we’re looking for contributions!

10 days of science is centered on the events happening as part of National Science Week in NSW and ACT. But we’re not looking for promotional write-ups. We’re interested in postings that delve into the science behind the event you’re interested in. We’d like you to use the events as an inspirational springboard.

We want entertaining, readable and unique science-related blog posts … in whatever medium takes your fancy. Think on-the-ground twitter reports of events as they happen (check out our Guest Twitter feed on the home page), video QnAs or video footage, critiques, photo essays or opinion pieces.

The best way to start? Look through the events on the site. There’s around 100 and they’re pretty great! Even if you’re not able to attend any of the NSW or ACT events – you can still pick an event and contribute a posting on its scientific themes.

Look through the postings already published. We’re after more of the same: but in your voice, of course.
