Just announced: Copley medal award
Scientists newsletter
Hello
We are delighted to announce that Professor John Goodenough ForMemRS in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin has been awarded the Royal Society’s Copley Medal, the world’s oldest scientific prize.
Professor Goodenough is being honoured for his exceptional contributions to materials science, including discoveries that led to the invention of the rechargeable lithium battery, now used in devices like laptops and smartphones worldwide.
We're also pleased to announce that the next round for the Wolfson Fellowships is now open. The fellowships offer substantial funding to UK universities and research institutions to recruit and retain senior career researchers.
And don't miss our look at how fakery and fake science undermine trust and can literally be a matter of life and death in our featured article from Royal Society Open Science.
Wolfson Fellowship
The Wolfson Fellowship enables UK universities and research institutions to recruit and retain exceptional senior career researchers in line with strategic priorities.
The generous salary enhancement package can be used flexibly by the research fellow to support their salary, research expenses and a four year PhD studentship.
This cross-Academy initiative supports early- to mid-career researchers to attend multidisciplinary workshops addressing fundamental development challenges.
This symposium focuses on The Urban Opportunity for Building a Resilient Future. You can apply for up to £20,000 to build on partnerships developed at the event.
These international schemes are for scientists based in the UK or in the US for the Kan Tong Po programme, who want to stimulate collaborations with leading scientists overseas through either a one-off visit or bilateral travel.
This scheme provides support for academic scientists who want to work on a project with industry and for scientists in industry who want to work on a project with an academic organisation. View scheme notes (PDF).
Find out how to improve your writing skills and engage audiences in both written and broadcast media with our two day residential course on 3 – 4 June.
Highlights of the course include feedback on writing and interviews from tutors who work in science writing and broadcasting, the development of a popular science article about your research, and the opportunity to review your own interview performance through optional recordings.
The National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement (NCCPE) is working with the Science and Technologies Facilities Council (STFC) on a series of partnership-building events.
Entitled Wonder Match, the events are designed to help community organisations and researchers meet and develop public engagement project ideas together.
Upcoming events will be held in Manchester (5 June) and London (4 July).

Fake science and the knowledge crisis: ignorance can be fatal
In the ‘post-truth’ era, deception is commonplace at all levels of contemporary life. Fakery affects science and social information and the two have become highly interactive globally, undermining trust in science and the capacity of individuals and society to make evidence-informed choices, including on life-or-death issues. A new article in Royal Society Open Science addresses this issue and explores potential solutions.
