FameLab Reminder

[Infopoint]

Do you have a passion for physics or mathematics that you want to share
with others? Are you good at communicating what your research is all about?

ICTP is looking for a few young (under 40 years old) scientists who fit
the above description to represent the Centre in an international
science communication competition called FameLab.

FameLab is a science talent show that supports and encourages young
scientists to use their communication skills in order to disseminate
their research work to society as a whole, not just to colleagues and
peers.

Participants are invited to illustrate a scientific topic they feel
strongly about in a way that is amusing and easy to grasp, within a time
limit of 3 minutes.

The local competition takes place 7 March here in Trieste (in English
and Italian). The best communicators will win a cash prize and will have
the chance to participate in a masterclass in science communication, as
well as to enter the international competition!

Sign up now by contacting the ICTP Public Information Office at
pio at ictp.it or stop by our office (Room 139 in the Leonardo Building).

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: 21 February (this Friday!)
