We're delighted to announce our Standing up for Science workshop for early career researchers (ECRs) in Manchester. We have some amazing panellists lined up for this workshop, including policy experts, science journalists and researchers with extensive media experience, so we'd love to have as many researchers as possible make use of the opportunity to learn from them.

Applications are now open. This workshop is open to ECRs (PhD students, postdoctoral researchers or equivalents) across all STEM and social science fields and are free to attend. We combine discussion around misrepresentation of science in the media and public and how evidence influences policy with practical tips on how ECRs can start standing up for science.

Please see the workshop webpage for more details. ECRs can apply for the workshop by filling in and submitting the application form, and the application deadline is Thursday 20 February.
