Research science conference offers bursaries
This year, frayintermedia is partnering with Wits University to bring together science reporters, journalism students, leading scientists and science communicators to explore science research into the past, present and future on 21-22 September 2010 at Wits. SAASTA and the Ford Foundation will sponsor the conference.
This year's conference will see Prof Lee Berger reveal some of the secrets of the Sediba fossils and include a visit to Planetarium headed by Dr David Block, an astronomer and director of the Cosmic Dust Laboratory, School of Computational and Applied Mathematics at the University of Witwatersrand.
A number of bursaries have been made available for journalism and science students, community reporters and freelance journalists as well as science communicators. These will be made available on a first come first serve basis upon submission of a sample of a published science article and a letter of commitment.
