Do you know an early career researcher who goes the extra mile to communicate their scientific ideas to the public?
Early Career Researchers are the future of science, helping to advance research and put science at the forefront of the public mind. Elsevier supports researchers at every step in their career. From recognizing and rewarding outstanding researchers and their institutions through numerous programs and resources, to supporting them with free e-learning tools such as Elsevier’s Researcher Academy.
Alongside producing life-changing research, excellent science communication skills are important and capture the imagination, sparking meaningful debate and discussion that can grant science a broader vision in our society. That’s why Elsevier is calling on you to nominate your peers, who excel at this, for the Researchers’ Choice Communication Award.
“Communicating science is not only rewarding and challenging, but it’s also vital to the future of science. There are so many amazing and selfless science communicators, who will be further encouraged and motivated to keep engaging with the public…nominate them for the Researchers’ Choice Communication Award.”
