Dear Supporters

Welcome to February’s issue of Science e-lert – bringing you the latest news and activities at the British Science Association.

In this month’s edition you’ll find interesting ways to get involved with the Big Bang: UK Young Scientists’ and Engineers’ Fair and details on this year’s Science Communication Conference. Find out about the exciting launch of the What on Earth nature-spotting project and see which of our close affiliates were honoured by the Queen. There is also a great opportunity to work at the heart of the media through our Media Fellowships scheme and the chance to tell us what you think of our website.

Best wishes
The Supporter Development Team
