<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">I'm a
Scientist is an X
Factor style competition for scientists, where students are
the judges. You
talk online with students on the I'm a Scientist website,
answering the students'
questions and talking with them in live text chats, and the
students vote for
the scientist to win £500 to spend on science communication.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Everything
happens on the
web, so you can join in without leaving your desk. The event
runs over the 2
weeks from June 25th - July 6th. There will be around one hour
of live text
chats each day, and two hours answering questions in the
evening, although this
will vary depending on how busy the zones are. It's a unique,
fun way of
developing communication skills, gaining a fresh perspective
on research, and
finding out what young people think about science and the role
of scientists.
Anyone from PhD students to professors can take part.</span></p>
