One way to raise the profile of ASC and science communication in Australia is for ASC members to nominate suitable candidates for the five Eureka prizes being offered in Science Communication and Journalism.

One of the prizes in this category, Advancement of Climate Change Knowledge, is new this year. Whether you nominate yourself or provide a report in support of a nomination mention that you are a member of ASC in the required documentation. Entries close midnight AEST 7 May 2010.
