Also in GB2RS this week…

The British Science Association has announced that applications for kick-start grants will open on 17 September 2024. The grants are provided to help schools in challenging circumstances to deliver events and activities as part of British Science Week. You can find out more on the British Science Week website. If you need some inspiration on how to get involved, the RSGB is already planning for the March event. To find out more go to rsgb.org/bsw, where you will also find activity ideas and lesson plans from previous years. If you’d like to get involved or have any questions, you can email the RSGB British Science Week Coordinator, Ian Neal, M0KEO at bsw@rsgb.org.uk.

RSGB Members can ensure they are the first to hear about the Society’s online webinars and events by registering to receive updates by email. Simply log into the RSGB members’ portal at rsgb.org/members, then select the Manage Preferences tab, and click the Online Events option. By selecting this preference you’ll be kept up-to-date on events such as the Tonight @ 8 webinars, which are already shaping up to have a brilliant programme for the autumn. Keep an eye on your mailboxes for more news about these soon.
