Newswise — WASHINGTON, D.C., January 31, 2019 -- The American Institute of Physics (AIP) and the Acoustical Society of America (ASA) are both accepting submissions for their respective 2019 science communication awards.
ABOUT THE AIP SCIENCE COMMUNICATION AWARDS
The AIP Science Communication Awards were established in 1968 to recognize some of the best examples of science writing in the previous year. Currently we give four awards for the best science writing in 1) books; 2) magazine, newspaper or online articles; 3) children's books and other works intended for children; and 4) broadcast and online productions. Works should be intended for a general audience and will be judged on their ability to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of physics and related fields. Winners will receive $3,000, an engraved Windsor chair, a certificate of recognition, and a trip to the awards ceremony at an upcoming national science meeting where the prizes will be presented. Entries must be received by March 29, 2019.
For more information on each of the four categories, as well as rules and how to apply, please visit http://www.aip.org/aip/awards/science-communication/apply.
