Contest 2010: We're Looking for A Few Good Bloggers

Every year, Science Magazine sends a team of reporters to cover the annual AAAS meeting, one of the most diverse scientific conferences in the world. This February, we'll be in San Diego--and we want your help. For the first time, we're opening up our online coverage to guest bloggers. If you're attending the meeting and have something insightful to say--even if you've never blogged before--we want to hear about it. And if you're really good, you could even win $250 or other prizes (Detailed rules here). Update: The contest is closed. Please check back next year to participate again, or see what the 2010 guest bloggers have posted.

What we want: Your thoughts, impressions, arguments. What you found fascinating at AAAS sessions, what sparked your interest, and even what you found maddening. We'd like reports of new findings, what they mean, and what the debates in the sessions and hallways are about. Please post your blog entries as soon as possible after the events you cover. And finally, the writing should be geared towards a broad audience: keep the jargon to a minimum, and focus on topics that would interest a diverse readership.

What we don't want: Rants, cut-and-paste jobs from presentations you're giving, or stenography. We don't want a synopsis of the session you just attended or delivered, but rather its surprising, salient points spelled out for a lay audience.

How to sign up: To register as a blogger, please fill out the form below. Email Jue Wang of Science with any questions. He will e-mail you instructions before the meeting.

We look forward to seeing you in San Diego!
