Good Morning Alison,

I was wondering whether you could help me. I write the blog for Glasgow 
Science Centre and I am currently looking for guest contributors. We 
have featured some scientists who work in industry and academia 
previously and they are extremely popular. For the new year, I would 
like to recruit a wide variety of scientists working in different 
fields. Do you think that anyone in the Institute of Physics would like 
to be involved?

You can view the blog here: http://www.glasgowsciencecentre.org/Blog/

The tone of the blog is quite informal and the four subject areas that 
we offer to guest bloggers are:

·What inspired you to study science?

oYour heroes, influences and seminal experiences

oWhat fuels your passion

oA typical day or week in your job

oYour aspirations and goals – either personal or societal

·The representation of women in STEM

oIn support of the STEM agenda of female role models in Science

oProgress, high points and achievements

oAnecdote and experiences of working in Science

o(If you are brave!) an exploration of gender in Science – what 
gender-specific advantages and disadvantages has the writer faced

·A day in the life- how do you use your science knowledge in your 
current role?

Most pieces are fairly short – so probably 300-500 words and I am very 
happy to work to the guest writer’s deadlines. We promote the posts on 
our social media channels and we would link to your own facebook and 
twitter accounts. I would also like to add your link to the blog itself 
to drive traffic to both sites/ blogs.

I was wondering there was someone within your organisation who you think 
would like to be a guest contributor? If you would like any more 
information please get in touch.

Many thanks,

Sharon
